12 hours of lectures a week but it's normally more like 9/10 as many of them will finish early..

I'm not so sure about Sheffield, I don't really want to live there. I'd love to go to Southampton simce I do want to eventually end up in the space industry. How about you?

Honestly I'd say keep an open mind, aerospace is very broad and at this point I doubt that you understand what it means to go into the space industry, nor do you have experience with half the fields you will encounter in first year let alone later years. It's more like you'll go into one area, for example materials, propulsion, systems, electrical or programming, and then you happen to get a job in the space industry. So when I say Soton has a good program for the space industry I really mean they teach more space specific content than other courses. Surrey on the other hand will actually give you a leg up because I imagine their SSTL will have a preference for Surrey grads.

I'm a first year Languages student.
I have 4 hours of lectures and 10 hours of seminars/labs.
It seems to be more than a lot of first year humanities students.

So Arts and Humanities students pay for the teaching of Sciences students... and will be paid less.

25 to 35 hours a week. For each hour of lectures, we are required to do 3 hours of independent studying. - Diagnostic radiography

Environmental Earth Science
In my first year, every environmental course has the same first year
Had an average of 18 contact hours a week
9 hours of lab time, practical/it
6 hours of lectures
1 hour of a workshop
1 hour of pal mentoring
It's worked out I've got 4 9am starts every week.

What does the mentoring consist of exactly? That sounds like a good idea.

Too much. About 12+ they love to shove in those 're-arranged extra lectures' aka a 9am lecture on an obscure topic
2 Seminars a week... one of those seminars has been utterly pointless and dry, hasn't supplemented my knowledge.
2 Tutorials, they run every other week. You have to prepare to be drilled more or less, and the prep is heavy reading, note taking, case law, problem questions, but the discussions are interesting, you learn a lot, and see things from a different perspective. Forgot to mention, if you don't prep well and fail questions, you'll be told to get out.. you'll have to redo the tutorial again or get an absence if it cannot be re-arranged. So its in your best interest to prep well.

First year: 25 hours
Second year: 30 hours
Third year: 11 hours
Inclusive of lectures, seminars and lab sessions.
Third year there was obviously less contact time due to the dissertation.

10-13 hours lectures
1-4 hours tutorials (some weeks 2 hour lectures change to 1 hour lecture, 1 hour tutorial, you never know until you get there)
4 hours Standard labs
2 hours Computing labs
So a standard week is around 20 hours. 2nd year Physics.
I think my first year timetable was pretty similar in terms of lecture time although we had 1 less hour of computing and a small group tutorial session instead.

4 hours seminars and 4 hours of lectures per week.
I hate it though, I have had no routine since coming to uni. I miss Sixth Form.
Oh and I study English.

I'm jealous of you guys, I have like 35 h in A-levels. Can't wait to go to uni.
You have so many hours in a week for a reason; you are not taking three years to complete your A Levels.

I live in another country and our a levels DO take 3 years and mine take 4

In later years you're expected to spend a lot more time doing private study whilst the first year is quite spoon fed.

Lol I've only attended two weeks since Sept. Lectures are alright but too early, the worst is the "seminars" so haven't been to any
