I was conflicted about whether to defer my graduation or not."Sleepless nights have gone into getting my degree but I feel like my achievements are now a bit undervalued and unrecognised.
"We are deeply sorry for the administrative error regarding classifications," said a university spokesperson in a statement. "We apologise wholeheartedly for the upset it has caused the 10 students affected, especially in the context of the current industrial dispute that is having a serious impact on students across the board.
"They have all received apologies in person from their heads of school and school managers and we are supporting them in dealing with this unfortunate situation and in relation to their next steps, whether than be continuing in education or starting careers." "The error was down to human error at an extremely challenging and difficult time but we take full responsibility for the mistake and assure all students we have their best interests at heart and are committed to addressing their concerns and resolving the dispute as soon as possible."
