This prob varies from uni to uni. Our year is split into two semester's each one has three modules in first year we had two interprofessional ones and midwifery specific. Near the start of each module we get set the assignment, this is detailed in the module handbook (eg started modules two weeks ago, hand-in dates end of July) we have three essays from the modules and one extra for midwfery which is connected to practice learning, so eight per year, four each semester.
