Students at universities in London are becoming increasingly restless as university marking boycotts approach their third month.

The halt on marking is nationwide and is the culmination of failed industrial negotiations between the University and College Union and the Universities & Colleges Employers Association.

Students entering the job market fear extra barriers to securing a job without the promise of graduating on time. This is particularly pressing for international students attracted to the UK by the two-year post-study work graduate visa.

Although the disputes are over staff pay, pensions and working conditions, the effects on students are becoming a greater pressure on universities.
