University students in Wales are unlikely to have summer graduation ceremonies for a second year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Aberystwyth is the latest university to postpone its ceremonies because of uncertainty about when large-scale events can go ahead.
The National Union of Students in Wales said it was “upsetting for students”.
But a spokesperson for Universities Wales said the decision had “not been taken lightly” by universities.
No graduation ceremonies were able to take place in Wales last year and many universities had also hoped to hold delayed ceremonies for 2020 students this summer.
Last month Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University said they hoped their ceremonies could be moved to next year, while Swansea University said it would look to reschedule when “safe and appropriate”.
