Academic Experience

I study chemistry so in my first year I had around 16 teaching hours per week. This sounds a lot but it was still fewer hours than school! Obviously the practical element in such a course is important and we had one three-four hour lab session per week. The work mainly consisted of completing tutorials and workshops i.e. completing exam-style questions and having them marked by a tutor. In tutorials we would then go through the questions in order to ensure our understanding. Doing a science subject, I was only required to write two essays during the year. The course is challenging, but not impossible.
