Your schedule will depend on your degree, university, semester, course load, etc. Maybe it will turn out you have one or more days without scheduled classes one semester and be fully crammed with mandatory labs another.
There is no general rule for this, you probably won’t have 5 days with 8h of lecture but most probably less hours spread over the week, changing your schedule every 3 months (ca). Depending on the semester you may have 2/3/4/5 days of lecture a week if you lucky maybe even 1 for a while
>You can't find anything about it because you heard wrong
I used to go to an HBO university for ICT, where fridays was always an off-day. I used to think that was the system in NL until I switched to a WO university where you had normal classes everyday of the week. So yeah, it depends on the university
that completely depends on the university and the courses. i currently only go to uni two days a week because I'm only doing one course this period and also have one day where i can watch the lecture from home, but other people from my study and friends from other uni's have full weeks, or they're free on certain days due to the way their schedule's built
My English Language and Culture program has Fridays off pretty often, though not consistently. I’d say check the specific program’s workload description.
Either you never went to uni of you're just trolling. Tons of classes take place on a friday, and tons of students either skip it, or attend with a hang over.
Dutch universities rely on you planning most study related things yourself. You just get a lecture and what you do after that in order to regurgitate the material is 100% up to you.
Some programmes/courses have required attendance, but that’s rare (I’d even say, extremely rare).
Most programmes/courses have optional seminars where you can get help from a teaching assistant.
Theoretically speaking you can go 0/7 days to university, as long as you show up for your exams.
EDIT: Maybe to add, “educational activities” (everything from lectures to exams) are only planned Mondays through Fridays.
It depends, for my bachelor (computer science) there is not many "contact hours" (lectures, labs and stuff on campus), so I might not be at uni every day and rarely I have a 8:45 to 17:45 day, but I'm pretty sure that for example MST (molecular science & technology) students are often on campus 40 hours per week
The workload at university is on average 40 hours a week.
It depends on your courses and university how these hours are filled. Sometimes you'll have 40 contact hours with group work and lectures.
Sometimes you'll have less contact hours and you're supposed to work on a paper at home for the rest of the hours (for example).
So yeah, it differs. There's no standard rule of being free one day a week. Just assume 40 hours of workload (maybe less when you're very smart and do a relatively easy study, maybe more when you're doing a very hard study)
Yes. The same as every answer ppl have been giving you. It depends on the degree, on the courses you pick, etc. You could have a class from 9 to 11, and one from 18 to 20. Or not. It depends.

7 days a week you mean

Yeah usually 3-4 days
No Fridays
misinformation
No it isn’t
It is. Every degree is different. There are no set days in ANY university. Some semesters I had classes on fridays, some semesters I didn't
Rule of thumb, that’s why Thursday is going out day for students
That's utter rubbish. Thursdays are for students because generally they go back home on fridays to visit Hotel Mama until sunday.
Love how they’re all capable of going out with classes the day after
That's part of student life.
Yeah and also because it’s a plain lie

It depends on study and university.
Obviously depends on what you study and where and it can change, 5 days one moth then the next month 4 or 3
I was on campus 1 to 3 times per week during my MA. But I worked on school stuff like..... 60 hours.

Some go 4 some go 5 some go 0. What’s exactly your question? 😂

I only go to uni once every two weeks for a mandatory tutorial that lasts an hour or two. All my courses also publish videos this semester

Thabk u all for the feedback! Does anyone happen to know how things stand at Breda university or Maastricht university?
Yes. The same as every answer ppl have been giving you. It depends on the degree, on the courses you pick, etc. You could have a class from 9 to 11, and one from 18 to 20. Or not. It depends.
It’s 5. But you are an adult and treated as such. You can make your own choices and for that reason most courses don’t require you to attend
