how much hours will I need to study to attain first-class honours for accounting and finance at a London target?

So I'm starting an accounting and finance course at one of the London targets; however, I'm wondering how much hours will I need to study to attain first-class honours? How many hours will I need to grind per day, excluding societies and applying for internships/spring weeks?
