She was also handed the Chartered Institute of Marketing prize for the best student in the subject at the university.
Her top dissertation focussed on children’s television character Peppa Pig and the reputational risks that animated characters can unexpectedly carry through online spoof representations.
Catherine, of Summerfield, bagged a place at the University of Liverpool to complete a PhD in human geography.
