    I don't know much about leeds, albeit their website states that their department of mechanical engineering is globally renown.

    The 3 year course is a Bachelors, and the 4 year one is a masters, which I believe is a extra year of study that awards a higher level to the normal BEng.

    In engineering, getting a MEng is quite important especially if you plan on working in that field.
    Good luck with it
