The cladding is the same as on the Grenfell Tower block in London, where a fire killed at least 80 people.
A university spokesman said the blocks, owned and managed by a firm called UPP, will remain unoccupied until the work is complete.

We previously informed students due to move into three blocks of the residence that essential work to remove and replace the cladding on these blocks would not be completed in time for the new academic year. All affected students have since selected alternative high-quality accommodation for their first year."

A deli in Derbyshire has had its alcohol licence revoked after repeatedly selling illegal cigarettes.
Derbyshire County Council’s trading standards officers found counterfeit goods at Zabcia, in High Street, Alfreton, on five different occasions.
The decision to revoke the licence was made at Amber Valley Borough Council's licensing sub-committee yesterday.

The sale of tobacco products does not require a licence in the United Kingdom. However, a licence to sell alcohol can be revoked if criminal activity is found to be taking place on the premises.
Carol Hart, Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for Health and Communities, said: “This isn’t the type of action our trading standards team take lightly as we’re here to support businesses wherever possible.
“But when a business repeatedly flouts the law – despite receiving warnings – we’ll do all we can to protect the livelihood of legitimate traders."

Movie production in the UK has grown 72% since 2014, the Office for National Statistics has reported.
