It also found that students are working more than the recommended hours by the university in order to make ends meet - some taking on full-time jobs alongside their studies due to increased financial pressure. "Some are working full-time jobs, while doing a full-time degree. The extent of the crisis has gone to a degree where students are barely studying anymore and they're just trying to survive in the first place.”
“As a student, whether you’re studying for your Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD, your degree has to come first. That means if you need to work, you’ve got to find work that can work around your studies,” Jessica shared on the UoM’s student news website. She also advised students to make sure the jobs they are applying for are part-time, flexible, or seasonal, to best suit your schedule.“After a shift at work, you’re going to be exhausted, so it’s less likely you’ll be able to study afterwards. Take up shifts in the afternoon or the evening, and get in some hours of studying in the morning before work.
