TIME ALLOCATION FOR STUDY AND WORK AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS – HOW MUCH FREE TIME DO THEY REALLY HAVE?

Summary/Abstract: The employment of university students has become a widely recognized phenomenon throughout Europe. Motivations for engaging in work can vary, and the number of hours students dedicate to employment per week often depends on their field of study. Findings from the Eurostudent surveys indicate that for a substantial portion of students, the primary driver for employment is income generation, as it frequently serves as a prerequisite for continuing their higher education. Significant variations exist across academic disciplines and countries in terms of the time students spend in formal educational settings, the time dedicated to preparing for lectures and exams, and the amount of time left for paid or unpaid work, as well as for leisure activities.
