UCL Laws. LLB. And I doubt the course page will help you determine the workload, but yes those were averages. And that’s from the first year when I first bothered counting.

As for whatever your friends did, that’s just hilarious. If you can get good grades by “revising the lecture slides” that pretty much confirms for me the ‘teaching’ you’ve had is pure shit. UCL was ranked second for law in the U.K. last year (when I graduated), one below Oxford and above Cambridge. And we got nowhere near the help. My first year contract tutor told us they throw anything they can at you and you need to find a way to deal because that’s how practice is in reality - shit tons of personal research and reading. So yeah, it was like a wall coming at me every day, and you either find a way to deal or you crash and burn. Simple as that. Closed book exams, too, by the way - you need to remember not only the law but the names and details of at least 500 cases per subject area and those are just the big ones. There’s a reason law firms pile on you to offer TCs, and it’s definitely not just because muh rankings.

Pic related. My lecture notes for Agency I (third year). That’s one WHOLE area of law in ONE two hour lecture. All of it. And those cases carry on running down the page. All of it needed before every lecture. Four times a week (and STILL not counting the compulsory tutorials you needed to go straight to after twice a week that you also needed to prep for).
