Abstract
This research examined the relationship between academic study and having a part-time job for Keele University students. It was conducted to find out whether having a part-time job affects the grades received by students of Keele University in their end of module assessments. This study measures the amount of hours of part-time job and to see whether it negatively affects assessment results. It was hypothesised that students having a part-time job whilst studying at university level can adversely affect the academic performance; affects the grades that a student attains in their end of term module assessments. Twenty undergraduate students from Keele University were recruited for this study. Two of the participants (1 male, 1 female) were selected randomly for interview purposes. The result shows that students who hold a part-time job whilst studying at university does not influence their academic study progression or end of module assessment. It can be concluded that studying while having a part-time job does not have a great impact on students’ academic performance or module results. This study shows that by prioritising their coursework and managing their time properly should allow enough time for their university related responsibilities, hence, having a part-time job does not contribute to negative impact on their studies.
