Nope you don't go to uni everyday. For example, I have lectures on Monday online (9am to 11am and another at 11am to 2pm ). Tuesday I have lectures online (9am to 11am) and Thursday a one hour seminar Face to Face (12:30pm to 1:30pm)

I'm doing three modules this semester

You go uni 2-3 days per week but depends what course your on. early years education/education studies they have 2-4 hours of lectures per module. I go to uni on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They split the modules for each semester. So in September-January you might be doing 3 modules and January- July you might be doing another 2.

You do your placement in second year (I'm currently in second year now). Your placement can be anywhere as long as it's related to your course

All will be explained in year 2. I'd chat with a module leader but I'm sure since your working with babies/children it should count? If not the placement is only 50 hours so I'm sure you could fit it in even if you go once a week :smile:

50 hrs don't sound 2 bad. I can deffo fit it in with work.

You only do placement in year 2 but I'm planning to either volunteer or do work experience in a hospital setting or children's charity.

Hi, I’m studying a film course there next year so I’d love to get to know anyone who’ll be there as well. I’m into film and athletics so if you’re interested message me.

How do you know which campus is better suited, St. Mrys or Brentford. Also is it culturally diverse in UWL ? What is the Social life like?
