Students are increasingly having to work long hours to support themselves through University. Often this is in the most exploitative areas of hospitality and catering where you have no access to a staff Union.
Expected to work with little notice? Do you get your legal requirement of a 20 minute break in the middle of a six hour shift? Lied to about the working conditions? Do you get your 4 weeks paid holiday per year? (even if you work part-time for part of the year it should be proportional).
www.acas.org.uk has lots of information about employment rights.
If your employer is breaking them, the Citizens Advice Bureau can help you to win your legal entitlements www.portsmouthcab.org.uk
