Queen's University in Belfast has struck an agreement with an academics' trade union to end a marking boycott that had left hundreds of students without a degree classification.
The settlement between Queen's and the University and College Union (UCU) to end its marking and assessment boycott is the first local agreement in the ongoing UK-wide industrial dispute involving academics.
Around 750 Queen's students are set to graduate without a classification this summer as a result of the industrial action by staff over pay, working conditions and pensions.
