I would suggest only adding the years that it would take a full time person to do it (i.e., probably 2 years). What do the senior's think?

i have a master's degree but i did NOT have to study full time for my master. i had first year as courses with credit hours and affter i passed this year i had to prepare a thesis. the period of the thesis is not defined you may finish in 1 year of max 5-6 years. during these years you follow up with your supervisor and you don't have to attend classes. it is about how you manage it with your supervisor.

the question is, do i add these years, 6 years, to my university formal education years to (5 undergraduate+6 postgraduate) ?
and if i have to, Shall i add 6 years (considering that it was not full time) or how to calculat it ?

It depends - what was your registration status during the thesis period? In the US, you can register for thesis/dissertation hours only and still be classified as full-time. If you were classified as full-time, count it as full-time; if half-time... If you were also working as an RA/TA at the same time, you were probably full-time. If you had a full-time job off campus at the same time, it becomes trickier... probably would put it as half-time...
