As far as I know, you have 13 lectures per academic year.

Maybe I should stop being facetious - there's a timetable checker somewhere on dur.ac.uk and if you know what modules you're doing, then you can look up your timetable. All firstyear modules begin with the number 1.

No, I take physics, which has about 73 lectures a week, hence me sarcastically suggesting that you (and any other non-hard-scientist*) would only have a very small number of lectures.

*By which I mean Physics, Chemisty and Maths. And begrudginly Biology.

I meant I included Engineering in the lots of hours thing, not the "Hard Sciences" thing, which would be nonsensical, as Engineering isn't a science, hence the change to "biology".
I'm not just being stuck-up, Hard Science is the actual term for these subjects (as opposed to Soft Science).

PPE isn't a 'hard' or 'soft/applied' science...

Per week - 2 for psych 1, 2 for psych 2, 1x2hr for research. Plus a 3 hour practical every other week. Then you need to pick 2 other elective modules...
