Ananova:

A law student from La Plata in Argentina has finally graduated after spending 20 years on a course.

According to UOL the unnamed student had also failed one subject 39 consecutive times before passing.

Spokesperson for La Plata University said: "We have never had anything like this before and we are going to change some laws in the university to prevent this from happening again."

"We have a policy to have tolerance with students but that was over the top!"
