More than 80 students at East Coast College have been acknowledged for their successful completion of their Access to HE Diplomas in six subject areas.
The awards ceremony was for art and design, counselling, humanities and social science, life science, science and health, social science and social care.
All of the students are now progressing to their chosen degree courses, many with the University of Suffolk at East Coast College.
About 150 people attended the Assembly Rooms for the certificates ceremony which involved 82 students.
At the end of the evening a student of the year was announced for each of the subject areas.
These students were nominated by their tutor for their outstanding achievements and attitude.
The winners were:

Kerry Payne, head of access and higher education at East Coast College, said: 'Our Access Awards provide a route back into study for many adults who may not quite meet the entry requirements of a degree course.
'They also provide returning students an opportunity to brush up on their study skills – many of whom are out of practice.
'I am always delighted to see our student's progress each year to their chosen degree pathway and on to their chosen profession.
'We are after all about turning passions into professions.'
A college spokesman added: 'The college has celebrated 100pc success rates for its 2017 access cohort and is delighted that all 82 students are going on a degree course.'
