I'm in my second year of a physics with astrophysics at Leeds and in both first and second year, we had labs every week. Everyone does the same experiments on a rota basis in year 1 but there were no astrophysics specific ones. In year 2, it was similar however we have done 2 astrophysics experiments, one using the observatory to do some CDD imaging and one doing astrophotometry.

It's not too bad; in first year we had 4 hours a week and did one experiment each week and this year we have 7 hours each week and do the experiments over two weeks but depending on the experiment, we don't necessarily stay for the entire 7 hours :-) where are you looking at studying? :-)

Nice! :smile: this year I've had 21 contact hours per week and last year it was around 18 then you'll most likely get coursework/assignments so it's a pretty full timetable but I prefer that because I'd probably end up sitting at home doing nothing otherwise! :P
