London best for jobs
< Back to university news
Students working part-time in London earn more money per week than in any other city in the UK, a new banking survey has revealed.
The NatWest Student Living Index ranked London as the most cost-effective UK city to be a student.
The survey analysed weekly student expenditure, including rent and living costs, against earnings from part-time work. It found that students in London were earning on average £5,024 per year (£167 per week), with average hourly wages of almost £10.
The earning potential of students in London was further demonstrated when comparing the earning potential of students in Dundee, the city that was ranked second in the survey. Students in the Scottish city worked longer hours but still earned 30% less per hour.
