Gutted Edinburgh student 'might not get work marked' after spending £36k in fees

A gutted Edinburgh University student is facing the prospect of not getting her final work marked after spending £36k in fees - and eight months on her dissertation.

Libby Phelan, 22, a fourth-year English Literature student at the University of Edinburgh, has submitted her work but instead of being excited to graduate, she is frustrated as due to an ongoing marking boycott.

The student, from London, told how upsetting the situation is and that there has been no correspondence from the university regarding a backup plan which is leaving many students in limbo - and preventing them from applying for graduate jobs and master degrees.
