Ulster University says all students graduating this summer will receive their full degree results, despite marking concerns.

It means that the marking boycott at QUB will end and all marking will be completed by 7 August to allow exam boards to finalise results.But in a statement, members of the UCU at the university claimed that UU "plans to award degrees to students based on incomplete marks and non-expert marking in a move to undermine a national marking and assessment boycott"."In these cases, module marks have been extrapolated from grades given to previous assignments," it said.

"UCU is concerned that students are not being given full information about who marked their work, how it was moderated or whether assignments were not marked and grades calculated based on previous work." "In circumstances where the university has made use of alternative markers, we have used only appropriately qualified and experienced Ulster staff to complete additional marking," said the email.
