(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.
