The university, which has the shortest term-times in the UK of just eight weeks, actively discourages its undergraduates from seeking term-time employment as it believes it has a negative impact on their studies.
Nevertheless, whilst a number of universities were identified as being relatively good-value places to study, RBS found that rising cost of living across the board was forcing more and more students to take on part-time employment to help pay their way through university.
