Both undergraduate and postgraduate students will be able to complete the affected courses, but those on a foundation year will not be able to progress onto their chosen degree.
The University cite financial pressures and low demand for the proposed closure of the courses. Some courses they plan to close include Music, and Modern Languages. However, the University want to keep some facilities, including music and language resources, so that students can enjoy the disciplines as extracurriculars.
Children’s and Mental Health Nursing are also amongst the suspended courses, but the University has said it remains "committed to training doctors, nurses, midwives and healthcare professionals".
As a result of the course suspensions, faculty restructure is also planned from September 2026. This will include downsizing from five faculties comprising 26 schools, to three faculties of 10 schools.
Some students reported finding out about course closures via social media platforms, something that the university have apologised for.
