Figure 5.4:Distribution of hours of study27%23%Less than 1010 to 1415 to 1920 or more20%30%Base: All students.Source: London South Bank University – UK Part-time Student Survey 20065.4.3 Where students studyAs well as students being asked how long they studied every week, they were also asked wherethey studied (Table 5.1).• Nearly all (98%) the students’ surveyed studied at home, and it was at home that they spentthe most time studying – on average nine hours a week. One can assume that while studyingat home, they were engaged in private independent study.• The next most popular place for studying was at the students’ university, most of this time,averaging six hours a week, presumably would have been spent in face-to-face contact withteaching staff.• Only a minority of all students studied either in their university library (38%) or while at work(36%).• However, 41 per cent of employed students spent some time studying at their work place andthis figure rose to 45 per cent of full-time employees, but dropped to 24 per cent of part-timeemployees.Part-time students and part-time study: Strand 3 Universities UK 65
