Twins Take Away Identical Honours - graduate jobs

A pair of identical twins have both graduated with law degrees from the same university.

Emma and Kelly Shooter, from Derby, are celebrating after both achieving a 2:1 LL.B (Hons) degrees from the University of Derby.

The 25-year-olds both left school at 16 to became legal clerks in their home city.

Emma said: "After we left school we both decided we wanted to do A-levels and then the university's law degree.

"We were going to do it full-time at first but at the last minute thought it would be better if we stayed in work and did it part-time.

"That way we would still be gaining work experience, as we studied.

Kelly added: "Our lectures were done after work, two nights a week, sometimes until 9.15pm.

"That could be hard, coming after a full day's work, but we had some good tutors."

The twins will join more than 2,000 students celebrating their graduation, as well as honorary award winners including best-selling author Jasvinder Sanghera, who is receiving an honorary doctorate.
