Hi BC04,
Just for clarification, when a Brit says "What are you reading at University?", that's the same as a Canadian saying "What are you studying at school, eh?"
I know. I grew up in Britain but now roam the world as a Canuck
Also, as Paco says, a degree won't make much difference, but you might like to know that a standard UK BA/BSc takes only three years, so a UK employer wouldn't notice anything unusual about your qualifications in your CV (not Resumé
)
