TWINS Laura and Helen Taylor have proved they are anything but double trouble after netting identical degrees from university.
The inseparable pair collected first class honours degrees in Human Resource Management from Northumbria University.
Laura and Helen, 22, of Barley Mow in Birtley, near Chester-le-Street, who attended Lord Lawson of Beamish School, have always done the same subjects and although they were put in different classes, they came out with the same grades.
Laura reckons having a twin is the key to their success. She said: "I think having a twin gives you that little bit extra support, you can keep each other going."
Both girls hope for a career in human resources and currently have job interviews lined up.
Course Leader Phil Wilding said: "Many students have commented that learning in sets was a great help as they could learn from each other and, with being twins, Laura and Helen obviously had that additional motivation from each other too."
