1. A 4-year degree is a better door-opener. You should read this forum's FAQ (click small View Forum FAQ link, above). You'll also find tips for making decisions in the FAQ.
Not every country's degrees are 4 years. In the UK at least, a degree is 3 years.
That's without honours, right? (Hint: do honours)
Huh? What? What are "honours"? Do they add time? Obviously I don't know anything about the education system in your country.
Oh, right.
Clicky.
This page gives a generic overview of honours at the university I'm attending, though I wasn't aware of any faculties offering the latter two bullet points. My understanding of honours is an extra year structured as half coursework, half research project set and mentored by an academic. Entry is competitive.
There are some four-year courses offered here, most of the engineering degrees come to mind. I don't think Science or Arts degrees are offered as four-year degrees, though. Mind, double-degrees or "combined" degrees such as Arts/Science, Engineering/IT, etc are available and span 5 or more years - I'm planning an IT/Science.
