| Abstract: | The "Student Working Lives" project explores the increasing prevalence and realities of paid work among students in UK higher education. As the cost-of-living crisis continues to rise and financial support mechanisms fail to adequately meet students' needs, paid work has become an essential aspect of the higher education experience. Drawing on survey responses from 1,040 students across four universities, alongside linked student data assessing the impact of paid work on academic outcomes, this study offers a unique insight into how paid work shapes students' lives. Through in-depth interviews with students, senior university managers and policy observers, it explores the realities of working while studying and considers policy and practical responses to better support students navigating work. |
