The university's Chancellor pointed out that of the 20,000 students attending the University of Wolverhampton, more than 42 percent are from black and minority ethnic communities, of which over 7 percent self-identify as from Indian heritage. A new business school would be opening soon on the Wolverhampton campus, he said. "We have also invested in newly-equipped engineering facilities at Telford and opened our new University Centre there too," he said.

"As the University of Opportunity, we believe that it is through learning and education that we can build the strongest societies," he added. Describing the graduates of the University as "world leaders of tomorrow", Paul told the new graduates to use their education, skills and knowledge that they had developed to make a difference to society.

"We have an aim, and a duty, to ensure that our graduates leave us as truly global citizens. As graduates of the University of Wolverhampton you are members of an international network of learning, innovation and opportunity - with a worldwide network of partners and students from more than 150 nationalities. This is a network which continues to grow and develop," he said.

Acknowledging the efforts made by the staff, he said, "In my sixteen years as Chancellor of this University I have been privileged to work with three excellent Vice Chancellors and I am particularly proud to work with Geoff Layer whose vision and commitment is the driving force behind all this development. I wish him continued success."
