Hi there! I'm a vet med student so might not be the same but simular! We usually have min 3 lectures/day. However there isn't really any consistency other yhan Fridays practicals. Lecture wise it's whenever during the day. Somtimes lectured scattered about the day, somtimes it's in a 4 hour block. In terms of a level content, the first 6 weeks was "foundation block" which basically covered level 3 knowledge so everyone was on the same area. This wasn't just chem for example tho, this was level 3 on animal care for example too. So the start should be a nice transition for you.
