Why student surveys about part-time employment support matter

When it comes to understanding what students need and how part-time work impacts them, a well-crafted survey is absolutely essential. The landscape is changing rapidly—just look at the data. The proportion of UK university students working during term time jumped from 34% in 2021 to 56% in 2024, with students now averaging 14.5 hours of work per week [1]. Those numbers highlight just how many students are juggling jobs during their studies.

If we don’t actively ask students about their experiences with part-time work, we risk missing:

• Critical support needs: Many students struggle to balance work and academics, affecting both their performance and well-being.

• Emerging issues: With almost half of employed students (43%) saying their job negatively impacts their studies [2], you might overlook key stressors if you’re not gathering feedback directly.

• Opportunities to help: Schools, universities, and employers could miss out on practical ways to better support their students, leading to higher dropout rates or disengaged learners.

That’s why running targeted, engaging, and context-aware surveys—with the help of Specific’s AI survey generator—should be part of your toolkit. For more on crafting strong questions, check out our article on the best questions for student surveys about part-time employment support.

How AI survey generators transform student feedback collection

Collecting feedback shouldn’t be a slow, repetitive process. AI survey generators—like the ones we build at Specific—turn survey creation and response collection into a conversation. Here’s how they outperform manual survey methods:

Why use AI for student surveys?

• Adaptive surveys engage each student individually; the questions change based on previous answers.

• AI-driven design means you spend less time drafting questions and more time acting on results—organizations see a 60-70% reduction in time to insight [4].

• Completion rates skyrocket, and data quality gets a real boost—expect 25-40% improvements over static forms [5][6].

• Specific’s conversational surveys create a smooth and familiar chat experience for both the creator and the respondent, resulting in higher quality feedback.

Designing survey questions that generate real insight

We’ve all seen surveys filled with forgettable or vague questions. A typical “bad” survey for this topic might ask:

• Bad: “Do you work part-time while studying?” (Yes/No)

The problem? That’s a dead end. Instead, Specific helps you craft questions like:

• Good: “Can you describe how your part-time job affects your study habits and workload?”

With open-ended, conversational follow-ups, you’re much more likely to get actionable feedback. Our AI knows how to:

• Avoid leading or ambiguous questions

• Probe gently for more detail when answers are unclear (“Could you give an example?”)

• Phrase questions so students feel comfortable and heard

One practical tip for writing better survey questions: always aim for specific, concrete language, and be clear about what you want to learn. Or, let Specific’s AI generator handle the heavy lifting—its expert-crafted logic ensures your survey is effective from the first question. Want more on survey design?

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Manual surveys can leave you with vague answers that don’t reveal the full picture. Specific’s AI asks smart, automatic follow-up questions, adapting to each student’s responses in real time. This approach means every conversation is different and genuinely insightful.

• Student: “My job sometimes gets in the way.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share a specific example of how your work schedule interferes with your classes or assignments?”

Without this follow-up, you’d only have a partial answer—no real context or actionable intel. That often means lost opportunities for understanding what students really need. We see automatic follow-ups as essential for any conversational survey aimed at supporting students juggling work and academics. You can try this approach and see just how much richer your data becomes: check out our automatic AI follow-up questions page for more detail.

Follow-up questions make the survey a conversation—this is at the heart of every effective conversational survey.

Delivering your survey: shareable links and in-product options

Getting your student part-time employment support survey in front of the right people is just as important as designing it well. Specific supports two simple methods, each with clear strengths:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Instantly share a link with students via email, SMS, or social media. This is ideal for capturing feedback from large, diverse groups like an entire student body or specific study groups. No technical setup needed, just share the link.

• In-product surveys: Embed a conversational survey directly into a student portal, career center website, or campus app. This option meets students exactly where they already go for support on part-time employment, increasing response rates and catching feedback in context.

If your audience consists of students accessing campus resources online, in-product delivery is incredibly effective for real-time engagement. For broader reach, especially across multiple campuses or groups, the sharable landing page is your best bet.
