Abstract

This study aimed to investigate full-time higher education students’ attitudes to debt and term-time working and their impact on academic studies and attainment. It was commissioned by Universities UK and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The study was undertaken in 2002 by John Brennan, Alejandro Duaso and Brenda Little of the Open University’s Centre for Higher Education Research and Information (CHERI), and Claire Callender and Ruth Van Dyke of London South Bank University.
The findings are based on a postal survey of final year, full-time home undergraduates in seven universities across the UK and on focus groups with students and university staff.

The postal survey was undertaken during the period March-April 2002, and 1,500 valid questionnaires were returned.
