Tamanna Rahman, who graduated from our 40-week Manchester part-time course earlier this year, has been making headlines of her own.
Working undercover for flagship BBC News investigation programme Panorama, she suffered more that two months of racist attacks and abuse on a tough housing estate in Bristol during the filming of Undercover: Hate on the Doorstep.
Tamanna wore a hijab headscarf and acted as if she spoke very little English.
Using secret camera she filmed being pelted with stones and glass, while on one occasion an 11-year old attempted to steal her purse and threatened to kill her.
