University scraps plan to cut music and languages

by Samantha

Music and modern language courses will continue to be offered at Cardiff University after it backtracked on plans to close the departments.

The move to axe music prompted protests from students and musicians and was referenced in a letter about cuts to music education backed by stars such as Ed Sheeran, Stormzy and Sir Elton John.

It follows a U-turn on proposals to axe nursing courses at the university, which were also part of major cuts announced by the university in January.

In an update to staff, Vice Chancellor Wendy Larner said music would have revised entry targets and content and modern language programmes would have smaller cohorts.
