Plans to close Cardiff University’s nursing department have been put on hold, as an “alternative plan” is considered.
An email to staff said the new proposal would mean teaching fewer undergraduates but adult, child and mental health nursing programmes would remain at the university.
In January, the university announced proposals to cut 400 staff across the institution and scrap some departments, including nursing.
Prof Stephen Riley, pro vice-chancellor at the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences, said in the email: “This is good news for the public, patients and of course the future nursing workforce in Wales.”
