Most university students working paid jobs, survey shows
By Nathan Standley & Lucy FesmerBBC News
More and more university students are working a paid job alongside their studies, according to an annual survey.
Research suggests 55% of students are now doing paid work, compared with a total of 45% of them 12 Months ago.
In the survey of over 10,000 students, 76% also said the cost of living has had a negative impact on their studies.
The findings by the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) are part of a wider snapshot of experiences of being at university in the UK.
It is the largest dataset on student experience in the UK, and is weighted to be representative of the university population.
The survey suggests:
Second-year student Clarissa Struthers, 26, works three jobs to support herself financially while doing her degree in Social Work at the University of Hertfordshire.
She combines lectures with paid work as a nanny, teaching assistant and children's home support worker - often working up to four Days per week.
" It affects your grades because you're so tired from working around lectures, " She Said .
She also lives At Home with family in East London to cut costs as much as possible.
" There are so many things I've cut back on, even thinking about what I can eat when I'm buying food, " She Said .
" It's really sad but that's the reality. "
To help with living costs while at university, students receive a means-tested maintenance loan. This means the amounts differ depending on the household income of a student's family.
They are separate from tuition fees - which pay for the cost of The Course - and are intended to cover accommodation, food, books and any other equipment students need.
The Hepi report encouraged the government to review the maintenance loans system to ensure they increase " in a timely fashion" and In Line with inflation,
A Survey conducted last September by Save The Student found students' living costs
But maintenance loans are not increasing at similar rates.
They will go up by 2. 8% in 2023-24 for those with loans in England, 9. 4% in Wales and The overall support for living costs in Northern Ireland remains lower than elsewhere in the UK.

A spokesperson from Universities Uk , which represents 140 universities across the UK, said: " Universities are doing their bit by increasing hardship funding, offering subsidised or free food on campus and increasing other forms of pastoral support.

The 2022 Hepi survey was the First Time the question was asked, with.
That figure has since increased from 23% to 26% in 2023.
One of Hepi's 13 recommendations was for universities to tailor their support for students with different living arrangements, with those Living Alone or At Home with family more likely to experience loneliness.

It said this could be down to cost-of-living pressures, or an increasing awareness of available apprenticeship programmes.
