Cardiff University Scales Back Proposed Cuts to Chemistry Department
Following a consultation, Cardiff University has revised its plans for the chemistry department, scrapping proposals to cut up to 10 staff and reduce undergraduate numbers by 50.
The department will still merge with two others, but there will be no compulsory redundancies, and undergraduate numbers will be reduced by a smaller amount.
The new proposals, put forward by the school of chemistry during a consultation earlier this year, have been accepted by the University Executive Board and Council.
In January 2025, Cardiff University shared proposals aimed at reshaping its academic activity to achieve academic and financial sustainability.
- No compulsory redundancies
- Smaller reduction in undergraduate numbers
- Merge with two other schools
