torny i think you are missing my point.
With the school system of my country if you want to attend university you MUST first complete AT LEAST 13 YEARS of school, then once you are are at uni THE SHORTEST COURSE LASTS 3 YEARS. There is nothing like a 2 years uni degree here, the shortest way to get any uni degree is 3 years. So the shortest way for me to fullfil that requirements is to get a 3 years uni degree (i.e. BSc) after 13 years of school, a total of 16 years os study, while a citizen from many other countries can get a 2 years uni degree after 12 years of school, which means that he/she can fullfil that requirement with 14 years of studies, 2 years less than me.
understand??
