The sun shone down on St Andrews on Friday as the final day of graduations took place.

Among those celebrating their academic achievements was refugee Tashi Tahir who graduated with an MA with Honours in Management. Tashi was granted leave from Pakistan to remain in the UK just in time to accept her place at the university after a 10-year battle for asylum.
