      Yes I did. To get on the training scheme I am now- (the scientific training programme) I needed an undergraduate degree and I need a masters to be a fully qualified clinical scientist (which I will hopefully achieve this September)

      I am doing a PhD which is a bit like a job. We get paid to do research but we are still technically students. Yes, to do a PhD, you need to do a bachelors (normal 3 year course) degree. A masters is also useful which is 1 year of study after the bachelors degree.

      Yes, both an undergraduate degree in physics and a postgraduate degree (MSc.) in Medical Physics. This wasn’t always the case, but I think it is now.
