Strike dates are yet to be decided.

Employers have previously said universities have done their best to support staff in tough times.

Students - some of whom have supported previous strike action by university staff - could face lectures being cancelled or rearranged.

The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), which represents university employers across the UK, proposed a 3% pay increase for staff this academic year, with 9% for those on the lowest pay grades.

University lecturers, librarians and admin staff across the UK will strike over pay and pensions, the University and College Union has announced. A total of 70,000 UCU members at 150 universities were asked to vote in two separate ballots - one on pay and working conditions, and another on pensions.
