FAQs regarding the UCU strike for students
Upcoming days of Industrial Action
The Universities and Colleges Union (UCU) has extended its Action Short of a Strike (ASOS) to include a marking and assessment boycott with effect from Thursday, 20 April 2023.
Minimising the impact on students
Our priority remains to minimise the impact of any strike action or forms of ASOS on our students. While we expect that the vast majority of timetabled student sessions to continue as normal during the strike action, Deborah Longworth, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Education, has been working with Directors of Education, Schools and Departments and the Guild to ensure that there are plans in place to mitigate the impact of disruption on students.
More broadly, we expect that the University will continue to operate normally during this period with the main library, all study spaces and other student services continuing to operate across the campus.
