A BABY boom has struck a business school with six students becoming dads during the course.
During the two-year Durham Business School executive MBA programme, seven babies have been born to the part-time students.
The students also juggle their full-time jobs with parental commitments, as well as the course.
They include Lee O'Donovan, from South Shields, South Tyneside, who has become a father to two children since enrolling in 2006.
Mr O'Donovan, regional account manager for Filtrona Filters, said: "I've had a lot to contend with during the past 18 months, but its been worth it. I love my family and enjoy being a dad.
"I'm developing myself and pushing on in my career for my family."
