My course is full time but is 9-11 Mondays and 9-8 Tuesdays. Which works out to be 13 hours a week. I hadnt really considered going on the dole but I currently get a Student loan and grant, would that change?

I don't think that you will be eligible for any benefits if you are in receipt of a grant and student loan.
What course are you doing with so few hours?

It is a Full time Foundation Degree in Civil Engineering. Tuesdays are very long as the Part time people are in the same classes.
After May, we will be finishing the subjects we do on Mondays so it will then go to 11hr weeks.

If you are receiving a grant and a loan and are living at home, why do you need a job?
Are you bored?

Thats one of the reasons. Plus I would be getting more money as well as experience if I had a job. But the main reason is to shut my parents up.

Only 11-13 hours a week - blimey! I did about 4 full days and one half day a week of lectures, labs and tutorials and often stayed behind to use the library and computers in the evenings (pre- t'interweb).

Yep, when I did my engineering degree I seemed to live in the university or The Pack Horse opposite the engineering block when I was feeling cocky. Only Wednesday afternoon was free and more often than not I'd spend it in the Mech. Eng drawing office refining my draftsmanship or in the stack collection of the Edward Boyle library listening to classical music and reading railway related articles in the Mech eng. journals. The computers that I had at my disposal were accessed via teletype terminals and the programs were saved to punched tape. I managed to hog most of the processing power of my department's mainframe when I created a mathematical model to model heat flow in fluidised bed combustion boiler and caused the system to come to s stuttering halt.
Happy days.

Contact time is pitifully low on all courses at the moment. It's driven by funding cuts from the gov. A lot of us who run the courses try to sneak in more hours, but finance departments are all over it as its not efficient enough, and it loads room resources.

When I was teaching I had to fit in a design class (all year), a history class (half year), a drawing class (half year), and one and a half days in the workshop (all year) in a 12 hour week of contact time with my students for their HND.
