University workloads are not all the same ...

The Times Higher Education Supplement has analysed the data produced by the Which report ‘The academic experience of students in English universities’ and found huge differences in workload between university sectors and within courses.  In broad terms, the post 1992 universities have significantly lower workloads than the traditional universities and Oxbridge comes top in nearly all cases.  The average amount of study for architecture, planning and building courses was 40 hours per week, compared to 23 for mass communication and documentation.   [ source GTA Careers newsletter ]  For a table of comparisons, click here.
