Question to people doing a foundation year

Looking to apply for a job soon and I'm probably going to be doing a foundation year, however, I do not have my timetable yet so I was just wondering if anyone would be able to share theirs and what sort of timetable I could expect.

Thanks

The timetable will vary immensely between individual courses and universities. It's impossible to give an indication.

For example, at Southampton alone, their Science Foundation Year was (when I did it) 3 days a week, with two days of ~7 hours including breaks/lunch, and one of ~6 hours including breaks/lunch. Their Physics/Engineering/etc Foundation year, on the other hand, was ~35 hours a week, over 5 days (including breaks). It was pretty much full time.
