neutral  translatol: This is acceptable in some contexts. The problem is that it's a five-year programme, so BS or MEng? Finding equivalences for degrees is tricky

  -> Thanks. I get your point... But in order to get a Master degree in Sciences, you should spend two more years, besides your 4 previous for getting the BS degree
