    Is there any disadvantage in doing a level 8, 3 year degree, compared to another level 8 that's 4 years long???

    Example;
    Business level 8, 4 years Or Finance & Investment 3 Years.

    Would your chances of post grad study in other colleges or abroad be affected by any of this??

    I wouldn't think there was an apparent disadvantage. Some years just take longer to teach the syllabus. Nothing wrong with that. Plus i think you'll find that most "4 year courses" are actually 3.5 year courses, because 4 year courses generally have a semester or maybe more of work placement in your relative field. So the only "disadvantage" I see would be the industry experience you gain from placement. Do three year courses have placement. I'm not 100% on that aspect.
