    With 3 subjects no it wont. It will be 15 hours or so. Do you really see people having 6 hours per subject of class contact be that lectures/tutorials? 5 hours is 2 3 hours of lectures plus 2 of seminars/tutorials.

    I just counted my first year hours and it totaled exactly 20
    3 on monday
    5 on tuesday
    5 on wednesday
    4 on thursday
    3 on friday
    I presume not every one is as long, I had a language
    I only had 3 subjects

    English this year was 4 hours, think classics was 5-6 and philosophy is about 6 too. Its very little. In second year, eng is 6 hours but your other subject will likely be the same too.

    Usually its the tutorials that bump it up towards 20 when everything is taken into account
