While the timetable you get in your first week looks easy (with only a few hours each day), it will change over the course of the next couple of weeks as your lecturers will add labratory sessions to it.
The timetable gives you the lectures and labratory sessions for the week but it is not the only work you have to do. For every five credits a module has you should do twice the amount of time on your roster in private study.
On average thirty to forty hours per week should be spent on lectures, labratory sessions and private study.
