Plans to close Cardiff University's nursing department have been put on hold, as an "alternative plan" is considered.
An email to staff said the new proposal would mean teaching fewer undergraduates but adult, child and mental health nursing programmes would remain at the university.
In January, the university announced proposals to cut 400 staff and scrap some departments, including nursing.
The number has now been reduced to 286, with a number of staff having already opted for voluntary redundancy.
