Part-time students at Swiss higher education institutions in 2016: detailed analysis - One in five students study part-time
Neuchâtel, 25.03.2020 - 22% of all students say that they study part-time. For around half of these, employment alongside their studies is key. Part-time students are less satisfied with their study conditions than full-time students and they rate their own health as worse. In addition to their financial situation, their age, social background and employment situation also differ considerably from that of full-time students. These results are taken from the topic report of the survey on the social and economic situation of students from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
This press release and further information on this topic can be found on the FSO website (see link below).
