Re: FRESHERS: All your questions answered!It really comes down to your course and your own initiative. Medicine/dentistry and those other science subjects have loads of contact hours compromising lectures and seminars. If you're on an Arts related course, you may have a lot less contact hours, but you're expected to do more independent reading and work.(Original post by ReTurd)

For my Economics course, I have 12 hours of lectures a week, with an average of 3 hours of classes a week, which each require an hour of so of preparation beforehand. Then it comes down to how much extra I'd want to spend on going over lecture notes, extra reading, and the occasional assessed assignment or essay - I'd sum that up as about 1-2 hours per day on average. -

Re: FRESHERS: All your questions answered!Hi, I am a second year medical science student and my uni hours are usually from 9-5 and extra work at home around 2 hours per day..... on average i have 25-30 hours per week.
I also know some one who is studying english doing 12 hours a week. So it very much depends on your course. Plus as time goes on you just get use to your uni workload so dont worry too much.
Medicine dentist and medical science has around 25-30 hours per week.... (3 of the hardest degrees at bham)
