Furious Swansea University students say they have been told they cannot graduate as expected later this month. They said the university emailed them this morning saying that because of the staff marking strike students with a limited number of modules marked won’t know their final degree classification and can’t attend ceremonies to collect their degrees.
One affected student broke down in tears saying she felt “robbed”. She said students who had expected to graduate in a few weeks are now hindered applying for jobs and post-graduate courses because of the marking delay.
The third year maths and computer sciences student said her family live in England and had paid hundreds of pounds in hotel bookings as well as deposits for her gown and photograph bookings. She was "shocked and angry" to receive an email telling her the bad news.
