Students from Strathclyde University took to the streets this week over proposed cuts to courses and jobs at the Scottish university .
Around 100 people marched in protest of the cuts and two men were arrested, one for alleged obstruction and the other for an alleged assault on a police officer.
The protests are over proposals by the university to close its theatre and art gallery and make its head of music redundant as part of measures to save up to £12 million.
It also wants to drop courses in geography, sociology and community education from its Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences .
Mary Senior, from the University and College Union, told BBC News: "Staff and students share concerns over the plans.
"The university must not put its reputation at risk by making swingeing, short-sighted cuts just as a new Scottish government - committed to funding higher education - starts work at Holyrood."
