The Bsc course is 4.5 days a week 9-5 with a half day on the Wednesday. Last placement I did, I didn't really get the half day and was working pretty much a 37.5 hour week like the band 5's. We also have to hit the 1000 hours of practice by the end of the course. I am guessing that it is mostly around the coursework deadlines that the difference in the two routes is noticed. At the end of my second year on the Bsc now, and I cannot imagine having to hand in all that I have done in half the time. I have struggled (have to work ontop of course to pay rent too) just as it is!
