Queen’s University has tonight confirmed that “all students will now graduate after extensive work aimed at reducing the impact of the UK-wide Marking and Assessment Boycott (Mab) by the Universities and Colleges Union (UCU)”.
In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, the Belfast university said their management had “expressed gratitude to the local UCU branch who facilitated this development as an act of good faith and to the staff members of the university who worked hard to reach this agreement”.
They added: “While the vast majority of our students will not be impacted by this action, we estimate that around 750 students (18% of approx. 4,200 in total) will have their degree classification pending across the following areas: Law, History, Anthropology, Politics, Architecture, Psychology, Music, Environmental Planning, Archaeology, Sociology, and Criminology.
