The University said that strike disruption may cause “adjustment” to exams in an email sent to students today (31/1).

The strikes are due to begin in week four of this term and will take place over three weeks, lasting up to ten days. Pro-Vice-Chancellor Graham Virgo wrote that any changes to the “content, conduct and marking of exams” will be announced to students at the beginning of Easter term.

Virgo stressed that the strikes only affect the university and that all college teaching will continue as normal. While he said some teaching will invariably be cancelled, Virgo told students to assume that lectures and laboratory teaching will go ahead as normal, unless told otherwise.

Students were also informed that if they choose not to cross picket lines, they cannot expect teaching to be rescheduled. Virgo emphasised that picket lines should only ever be “peaceful protest” and students with concerns should contact the University Security team. There will not be a picket line at the student services building on Bene’t Street.

This term's action follows three days of striking in December, during which one day of teaching at Cambridge was impacted.
