One of Scotland’s leading universities has had to rent out a cinema complex for lectures.
Undergraduates at Glasgow University will attend the Grosvenor Picture Theatre, in the city’s West End, for daytime classes. High numbers of student enrolling this year has created a shortage of lecture theatres and study areas, and sparked an accommodation crisis.
And last week it emerged that some students may have to drop out of courses. They have been told not to enrol if they don’t have digs. Glasgow University Student Representative Council (SRC) has blamed senior university management for recruiting too many students.
