      Well, it depends what you want to do, really. You can get some jobs with a diploma. You have a lot more options with a degree. If you want to work in academia or research, you would need a postgraduate qualification.

      Typically Bachelors. The more the degree the more specialized a person becomes.

      Well you need a bachelors degree and then if you want to specialise in something, you will need a masters and a PhD.

      It depends on what aspect of science you would like to work in but generally a Bachelors degree is needed and maybe a healthy dose of patience but I’m fairly sure you can’t get a degree in that.
