In many European countries it is 5 years for an engineering 
degree and 3 for polytechnic.

Then you had 2 years for Msc and up to 3 for Phd.

As of the EU normalization (Bologna), the 5 year degrees became a 
Msc one, because there were a few countries were a degree would 
take 3 years.

So on the countries where an engineering degree used to take 5 
years, the universities started pushing for what they call 
"integrated Msc", meaning the same contents before Bologna, but 
with Msc title at the end.
