Is it worth doing a BSc Hons Fire and Rescue if i want to go into the fire brigade?

I am currently doing a BTEC Public Services in college. Im trying to decide whether or not it is worth going to the University of Wolverhampton to do a BSc Hons in Fire and Rescue. I want to be an officer.

I’d say no. Waste of money going to Uni for that:

What qualifications do I need to become a firefighter?

No formal qualifications are required to become a firefighter. However, you will need to pass a series of written and apptitude tests to proceed with any application. Any qualifications you bring into the service may help with future promotion.
