Data engineering. Unless you miserably flunked more than 2 exams, you'd finished it in 7 semesters. As expected.
The level wasn't too high, and given my current job, the programming classes were all very entry level stuff. That being said, the major itself focused on data analysis, statistics etc., even though I took the more programming-oriented specialty. Lots of hand-written math too, and some fillers like psychology or law (WTF!?).

Well, its depend on i guess - especially civil and mechanical engineering
u must be pretty smart senpai 
Lot of enginer here pass four years and some even reach seven

Obviously, the university time depends on the major. Med students study for 6 years!!! Usually it's 3 years undergraduate and then 2 years to get master. I spent only 3.5 years and became an engineer.

Oh, and when I was in primary school we were starting out at the age of 7, not 6.

Good to know. Poland has changed the system lately. Right now it's like this:
1. Pre-school - from the age of 3 to the age of 6. At the age of six the pre-school is called a kindergarten and it is compulsory as a one-year-long preparation for primary school.
2. Primary school from the age of 6 to the age of 14 (8 years).
3. High school from the age of 14 to the age of 18 (4 years). Possible to choose a plain high school, a technical high school, or vocational school.
4. From there if you passed the school leaving exams you can try applying to university (practically a must if you chose the plain, or technical kind of high school - unless you don't mind working in supermarket for minimal wage or are really talented/lucky/have a knack for something etc.).
The recent changes include:
1. Kindergarten used to not be obligatory.
2. Primary school lasted only 6 years, then you had secondary school (called gymnasium) for 3 years, and then high school for 3 years.

England has Nursery, Pre-school, Reception, KS1, KS2, and the secondary school is KS3, KS4 and KS5.
Years are deemed as 1-12 across the two separate schools.
Scotland has a simple system. Primary School and Secondary School.
Primary 1-7, then secondary school is 1st year to 5th year, and a 6th year known as Prefect should the student wish to stay at secondary school for an extra year before going to either a college or a university.
Then there's the exam systems... GCSE and SGCSE, O-Level and A-Level, and then College and Uni with their own systems of exams... et al.

Interesting. There's no such thing in Poland. I think most people would perceive a gap year as wasting time as most of the time people who want to go to the university want to go there as fast as possible and file documents as soon as they graduate, so that they enter the labor market as early as possible. But that's only my impression based on my peers.
Some people do make a mistake as to what they want to do in life, and change their major or profession. Sometimes multiple times. I'm not sure a gap year is going to mitigate this.
Oh, and thank you, Yoda's mum.
