As for those readers who don`t know - previous year I started my degree in UCLan, in UK (BA International Tourism Management) and this year I am doing my Erasmus exchange degree in University of Malta.
The biggest difference I have noticed is - time/planning etc. If in UCLan everything was organised till the smallest detail, then here I feel nobody knows nothing sometimes. People are not in rush, you know as in south.. everybody is relaxed and take everything easy! For me, as I have always planned my life it is bit hard to adopt this lifestyle.
Studies are a bit harder and more work to do - if in UCLan I had 6modules per year and 12hours per week, then here I have 9 modules and 18hours per week + each module is only per semester, so I will have about 18modules per year. If in UCLan per week I had 1hour lecture and then 1hour seminar related to lecture`s topic, here in UoM I have 2hour lecture and no seminars, so amount of information is much more. Sometimes I have 2hour lecture without break and the I feel my head could explode, haha :D Also, few days per week are crazy busy - from 10am-8pm and sometimes lectures starts at 8am!!!
In UCLan I had only 1 exam and about 15assignments per year, then here I will have about 5-6 exams per semester + about 8-9 assignments per semester (some of them 6000 - 10`000words) what can I say CRAZY!!
What I enjoy here the most is modules - they are interesting. University campus is small, so I don`t have to walk sometimes 20mins from one building to the other. Library - can I say, no comments? I love UCLan`s library.. so overall there are + and - in each uni, but still I miss UCLan :)
