    Aye, 4 years.

    But this way, I start a year earlier that I had planned, which is cool

    Yeah, 6th year was the plan for this year - but that opportunity presented itself and (to me) seemed like a better option because 6th year for me was just a way to consolidate the highers I already have to increase my chance of getting on the course.

    Electronics & Electrical Engineering with Business Studies?

    Followed by a Masters in Engineering, then going onto a Doctorate (presumably in Engineering )
