Undergraduates in England spend less time studying per week than their European counterparts, a report says.
The Higher Education Policy Institute surveyed 15,000 first and second year students. It found they averaged 26 hours of teaching and private study.

The director of the institute, Bahram Bekhradnia, said there was also a marked gender difference in the amount of studying that students did.
“Boys are down the pub and the girls are in the library, you can characterise that as,” he said.
