My undergraduate engineering degree was actually four-and-a-half years, which has been the standard for engineering degrees in Sweden for decades. Pretty much all science degrees are four year courses in Sweden, so I find the three-year degree courses here in the UK very short. It does seem we are moving towards the four-year degree being the standard here, too. There has been talk of making the Physics BSc at Queen's an exit degree only, so that we don't admit students to the three-year programme, but can allow them to exit with some degree after three years if they aren't getting the grades we require for them to be allowed to progress to the fourth year.

What did you do your degree in? The officially translation of my degree title is Master of Science in Materials Engineering, though I would generally express it the other way around as an engineering degree in Materials Science.
