Final-year university students have told Sky News they have had job offers rejected after graduating without their final degree classifications

Thousands of UK university students are unable to graduate this summer amid a bitter dispute between lecturers and universities over pay and pensions.

They are negotiating with two separate bodies: Universities UK with regards to pay and the University and Colleges Employers Association over working conditions. The boycott will only end when both sides have reached an agreement or if the union decides to call off the action.
