Essays per year as an undergraduate?

Starting in September and I’m curious, how many essays (on average) are expected to be written by someone reading history at undergraduate level. Had around 4 a week for A Level... so help me God!!

I had about 8-10 a year of varying lengths. Depends on the your course content and assessment methods but try not to stress, 4 a week is excessive at undergrad level, especially the amount of reading you'd have to do for them!

Yes. I'd be amazed if (insert whichever uni name here) asked you to do that many essays. Think my longest one was 3000 words. I did combined with German, however my uni friends who did straight history did max 3000 words (however more likely max 2000 words module dependent) bar dissertation which was an 8000 word double module.
