Sounds like the UK too. All my school friend doing non-STEM courses would ask me how many "contact hours" we had per week.
I can't remember exactly how many, but once you included lectures, scheduled labs and tutorials, was not that far from 9-5 (minus the standard university-wide Wednesday afternoon sport slot).
The friends would go quiet and say "oh, we have 12".
And that didn't even incude the "non-contact" hours in the labs grinding the coursework until security shooed us out late at night so they could lock the building. Good times (in retrospect, especially).
- schnitzelstoat 2y agoYeah, I did Physics in the UK and it was the same. Plus in one term there was some miscommunication between the professors and they set us one experiment every week instead of every two weeks, I remember literally working like 12 hour days on the weekends to get all the data analysis and reports done.
