Changing university terms, to get more students into summer jobs, could be easier said than done.

Tourism Minister Stuart Nash has suggested moving the university year by six weeks so students are available to work during the main tourism season.

Union of Students' Associations Andrew Lessells says many students would welcome the move.

But he told Mike Hosking it won't be as simple as just changing dates around.

He says there are issues such as the heat students will face while doing exams in the middle of summer.
