More than 1,000 students at Queen's University Belfast have been warned that they may not be awarded their degree as planned this summer due to ongoing industrial action.
As a result of the proposed marking and assessment boycott by members of the University and Colleges Union (UCU), 1,200 students face not being awarded their degrees as planned while around 40 face not being able to graduate at all.
This comes as the UCU say staff are "angered" at a lack of progress on their ongoing pay dispute.
