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.
