England and Netherlands are 3 years for a BSc but that’s not the case for all other European countries. Even in Scotland it’s 4 years for a BSc.

Even in the U.K. they realised 20 years ago that that wasn’t enough so they introduced ´integrated masters’ as a preparation for additional study, where you spend another year and come out with a single MSci or MEng degree instead of a BSc at the end of it.

In Sweden almost everyone I meet while working have a masters while in Brazil it is the opposite. Very few people go for masters in Brazil, the companies simply don't care about it at all so it is mostly just people who want to get PhDs afterwards.

Funny thing is, most people in Brazil who do Masters usually get an stipend too and it is much more chill than the bachelor. Yet most still go to private sector because the money is better.

In Sweden people actively look down on your CV if you only have a bachelor.
