Cardiff Uni students react to scrapped degree subjects

taff are in shock today after Cardiff University announced plans to shed 400 jobs amid cuts to degree courses. Vice-chancellor Professor Wendy Larner said degree courses and academic schools including nursing, modern languages, music, ancient history, translation, religion, and theology were among those proposed for closure in a 90-day consultation. The university announced on Tuesday that it was planning to cut academic headcount by around 400 full-time equivalent posts, which amounts to 7% of its total workforce. Compulsory redundancies will be used "only if absolutely necessary". Ancient history, modern languages and translation, music, nursing, and religion and theology subjects will be dropped and some schools will be merged. Joey Whitfield, lecturer in Hispanic studies and University and College Union (UCU) chair at Cardiff University, said: "It is very bad. People are in shock and very distressed."
