I've put this here and in Higher Ed as I'm not sure of the difference 
Hi,
I'm sure it varies from course to course but was wondering if anyone could help.
If you did a Masters full time - how many hours a week contact ie lectures/seminars etc did you have? Were these hours clustered over a couple of days or a little every day? I'm considering doing one a fair distance from
home on a direct train line and wondered whether this was complete pie-in-the-sky thinking?
Thanks
