The University of Aberdeen is to continue offering joint degrees in modern languages after its proposal to scrap all programmes was heavily criticised.
Single honour language degrees are still set to be closed as the university seeks to reduce a £1.5 million deficit caused by declining student numbers.
A meeting of the university’s governing body, known as University Court, has accepted a recommendation that will see Aberdeen make offers to applicants for entry in September 2024 for all its joint modern languages degree programmes.
This was one option of three that the university put forward as part of a consultation launched last month, alongside closing all language degrees entirely and retaining a suite of “with language” programmes.
