The language/terminology varies so this idea may be expressed differently (for examply full course and half courses, semesters etc). The length of the dissertation can vary quite radically too - some universities expect the summer dissertation to be about 12,000 words long, others go up to 20,000 - or possibly more. The institutions arrange teaching differently - I think many of the London colleges operate on a lecture basis, whilst a lot of other institutions offer seminar (small group) based teaching in which you get very few or no lectures. Some institutions will require students to sit an exam; others require the submission of essays ( 3,000-5,000 words long as a guess); some may even require attendance and coursework.
