That's pretty normal for arts students. I started out doing a
philosophy degree from a well-known scottish university. That was
three (four?) lectures a week and one essay per term - a complete joke. I
left after the year was up and started on a real degree (maths & cs).

Warwick is good though. Friend of mine went there and he has
excellent computing skills.
