University of Glasgow to Offer Voluntary Severance Amid International Student Decline

The University of Glasgow plans to launch a voluntary severance scheme in August after seeing a drop in international postgraduate enrolment. Principal Andy Schofield said the governing body has approved a new budget to secure the institution’s long-term financial sustainability and maintain a modest operating surplus. He warned that staffing levels in both academic and professional services are likely to be affected. Glasgow joins other Scottish universities cutting costs. Aberdeen has reorganised its schools into four faculties, Edinburgh is trimming £140m from its budget, and Dundee recently received emergency government funding to ease its financial crisis.
