Bible students have been warned they may see distressing images while studying the crucifixion of Jesus.

Universities are issuing a range of warnings to students in case they feel the need to leave lessons due to graphic content.

Others include veterinary students being warned they will be working with dead mice, archaeology students that they will see a skeleton and forensic science pupils that they will be studying blood.

Critics say the move will create a "snowflake" generation of students unable to cope with the world.
