Staff at the University of Aberdeen will strike for six days in March over the university's plans to cut jobs in modern languages.

The University and College Union (UCU) said their members voted for strike action with a ballot of 80% and a 60% turnout.

Strike action will start on Tuesday 12 March, escalating throughout the month said the union.

A petition to save modern languages at the university has been signed by more than 17,000 people and MSPs from multiple parties have spoken out against the cuts.
