New students at Glasgow University will not be guaranteed accommodation this year.

Students who live within commuting distance were automatically denied accommodation after receiving their results on Tuesday.

Prospective students from further afield were also told they are no longer guaranteed a place to stay.

The university blamed increased demand and a "significant contraction" in Glasgow's private rental market.

The Students' Representative Council (SRC) claimed the university had accepted too many new students.
