The students, who had studied veterinary nursing and applied animal behaviour, took to the stage at the graduation ceremony on October 5 at Alive Corn Exchange King's Lynn.
As part of the ceremony, students took the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons pledge and declaration, overseen by Matthew Rendle of the Veterinary Nurses Council.
It means that they are now officially registered veterinary nurses, certified by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
It comes as the college received accreditation from the RCVS, so that veterinary nursing graduates who complete their degree will be fast-tracked into the profession.

Principal David Pomfret said: "The 2019 graduates achieved great success with more than 75 per cent of all completing students achieving 'good' degree outcomes.
"Our HE students have sacrificed much to achieve success, but with the support of their family, friends and ongoing support from staff they have overcome many obstacles.
