Concatenate Function + yyyy function from a date

[LeighMacKay7]

Hi all,
Trying to create a work around.
I have two columns of data which I want to concatenate.
One contains qualification name (text) and the other contains a date in dd/mm/yyyyformat.
I would like to concatenate both to view similarly to as follows. Doctoral Degree, 2018.
I have tired the following.
=CONCATENATE(G273&", "&H273) this brings me the result "Doctoral Degree, 'and some random numbers'. I tried to change the format to custom and created yyyy functionality by editing a date function. This still didn't work.
I then tried to create a concatenated function with =RIGHT embed in the formula. But have had no joy.
I then moved on to a different potential solution using =TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE,G273,", ",H273), but again, I had no joy.
Can somebody please offer a solution.

Thank you for your prompt response.
I used your formula as a template and edited it slight to get what I wanted.

The formula which I have used is as follows;

=G273&", "&TEXT(H273,"yyyy")

Which then gives me "Doctoral Degree, 2014" as text.

This also worked. Thank you also for your response.
Much appreciated.
