Some 2,500 Singapore students who are pursuing degrees issued by RMIT University in Victoria, Australia will have their results withheld.

This is due to a dispute between Australia's National Tertiary Education Union and the university.

The union has banned its members at RMIT University from releasing examination results after failing to agree on a deal regarding employment terms and salaries of academic staff.

There are about 6,000 students in Singapore enrolled under the SIM-RMIT programme.

The ban is expected to affect first and second year students but final year students are unlikely to be affected.
