(with occasional organised revision lectures) NB: Personally i did Macro in the first term Micro second but thats unusual. Lectures depend largely on module choices. You do 8. Macro/Micro/Stats/Applied/Scheme 1 maths is compulsory. World Econ/Hist of Econ/Management/Psychology/Scheme 2 maths/many others are optional. Each module comes with a two hour lecture and a one hour weekly or fortnightly tutorial, and many have a one hour fortnightly demonstration class (except psychology 4hours of lectures for 4 weeks). Basically I had 16 contact hours in term 1 with 3/4 HW's per weeks and 6-10 contact hours in term 2 with 1/2 HW's per week. Totally depends how you organise your own timetable. Hope this helps. 2nd YearUsername: BetterThanHeaven Year of Study: 2nd year

Monday - I often go away for the weekend visiting friends and family so spend Monday morning getting back to London. Drop stuff at flat, grab food. Lecture at 1-3, then back up class at 3-4. Tuesday - 10-12 lecture. Stupid 4 hour break. Spent at the Brunswick centre's starbucks (round the corner) either going over work with friends or generally just chatting and pissing off the staff that I buy one drink in 4 hours. 4-6 lectures. Wednesday - 3-5 French class. Spend Wednesday mornings doing cleaning and laundry and going to library to print out reading etc. Thursday - 4-6 lectures. Friday - FREE! Either go away for the weekend, or working or social fun time. Have to do lots of reading in the evenings so I don't get swamped when my assignments are set. Much more work than last year. ENJOY FIRST YEAR. Transportation (Civil Engineering) MScUsername: arkbar Year of Study: Postgraduate, MSc
Ok, my Mondays: 7.30am get up in the glorious world of Acton 8am Get on the Piccadilly line to Kings X, where I change to the Northern Line 8.50am Arrive at UCLs PAMELA lab in Tufnell Park 9am-12pm Learn about disabled people falling over pavements 12pm-Get back on tube to UCL 12.30-Have lunch with coursemates either in sandwich place nearby or in the refectory and talk general rubbish until 2pm-Go to Public Transport lecture held in some random room in UCL, learn about buses. 4pm-Leave lecture and go to the pub with coursemates 6pm-Go home Tada?
Monday- My busiest day so far this term, have a programming module and problem class and computer architecture modules (boring) finish around 4pm. Watch some tv and hit up the gym or off for basketball Tuesday - Quite cool although I hate my 9am start then I have nothing until 2, usually go off to lunch and play some basketball or hit up the gym after. This is my work day, I do some programming exercises and read up on lecture notes. Wednesday- The best day at UCL for me, everyone finishes lectures by 1pm because its a sports reserved day, then I hit up the gym after, make some tasty Nigerian recipes and then off to Sportsnite. Sports night really mostly involves drinking and then heading off to the Roxy (student club). Thursdays - I usually wake up with a massive hangover, quite lucky as I have a 2pm start and I usually end at 4pm. Have a radio show on UCL so I do that at 11pm and usually get some shish afterwards at a friends. Fridays - I'm free!!! Have a long lie in, hit up the gym, cook up some stuff and then off to a social function (sometimes clubbing). There are loads of parties at UCL so you'll be spoilt for choice. Also sometimes i take a weekend trip Saturdays - Basketball , go home to see my family in London and then return to halls. Then pop out to have a drink or just chill at a friends place and then DJ practice. Sundays - Hit up the gym, work and get ready for Monday , and then prepare a marvellous Sunday Roast. To be honest so far with this first term, I've been laid back a lot this term but its first year so no worries, making the most off it!!!
