CUTS

Last month, the University of Aberdeen announced it needed to make cuts in a bid to save millions of pounds.

"These budget cuts… will rip the heart out of any moves to improve maternity safety," said chief executive Gill Walton.

Bloomberg first reported the cuts, saying they affected between 300 and 400 people, citing a person familiar with the cuts.

The tech industry, once seen as a relatively stable place to grow a career, continues to be hit by job cuts in 2025.

The agreement does not rule out job losses beyond 2025 and a consultation over proposed cuts in some departments will continue, with details finalised in June.
