How many study hours are there in a week?
In their first year students studying for an LLB or BA Law and Politics typically have 12 hours of contact time per week. Each module normally has two hours of lecture supplemented by a one hour weekly or fortnightly tutorial. Students studying on the Senior Status LLB will generally have 15 hours of contact time per week. The Department expects students to dedicate around 30 hours a week to private study. There is a similar pattern of study in subsequent years, although contact arrangements may vary in particular optional modules; and there is a greater emphasis on independent learning by the time you reach the final year of your degree programme. All students are required to be available from 09.00am to 18.00 from Monday to Friday as timetables may alter.
