A new survey suggests that rising living costs are pushing many prospective and current university students to seek work during term time. Reporting on polling by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), one article says 87% of degree applicants expect to work during term time. The coverage frames the trend as part of the wider financial pressure faced by students, linking the expectation of term-time employment to increased living costs. The article also states that the overall pattern affects “nine in ten” students, indicating that most applicants anticipate taking on paid work alongside their studies. The information presented focuses on expectations of working during term time rather than reporting the exact number who ultimately secure jobs. It also attributes the figures directly to the HEPI polling, without detailing methodology in the provided excerpts. Overall, the sources agree on the core finding: term-time work is widely expected among university applicants as costs rise.
