Wales's largest university could lose hundreds of jobs under new plans Wales's largest university could see up to 400 academic jobs lost as part of plans to secure the institution's "long-term future".
Professor Wendy Larner, the university's vice-chancellor, said it was "no longer an option" for the university to continue as it is.
"We have worked diligently to create initial proposals for a slightly smaller university, refocused around our core and emerging strengths," Professor Larner added.
Subjects and programmes in ancient history, modern languages and translation, music, nursing and religion and theology are set to come to an end under the plans, with student to staff ratios set to increase across the board.
Cardiff University has launched a formal consultation on the proposals, which also includes the possibility of subject closures and school mergers.
