At Aston, as many other institutions, our policy statement on term time working states that working should not cause the student to miss any timetabled sessions and we recommend a maximum of 15 hours per week. In response to the query on the proportion of students who work during term time, I can't really give an answer. When I was dealing with Access Funds applications last year, a large proportion of the applicants had a part time job but I'm not sure how representative they were of the general student population. Our Guild (students' union) has a Job Shop to help students find employment, and quite a few are employed by the University itself, particularly in the catering area.
