Frankly speaking its a tricky question, because it depends on the situation and time that what u really need.
like if u are planning to go for a job or interview or to join any kind of renowned or ordinary institution than degree really matters .
And especially in case of job it also depends on which kind of job you are looking for or which company you want to join ,as if the company wants an employee who should be knowledgeable then that company will not look at your degrees at all, a certification will be enough for them.
Second scenario is that if you want to start your own business or you want to work for your family business then in that case certification can be enough as long as you have the knowledge and idea.
Honestly speaking that in most cases degree is required but if you have potential as well as good amount of knowledge then certificates on any course can do the same magic what degrees does.
At last what really matters is your KNOWLEDGE and SELF BELIEF.
THANKS FOR ASKING!!!

Depends on the field of work that you ultimately go into - which is more relevant to the job descriptions/requirements. For e.g. if you want to be a professional STEM researcher/ a professor, you definitely need a graduate degree in STEM (as well as publications - which matter more than the degree to be honest), and an undergraduate degree really is not enough - therefore not impressive. But there are so many other fields (including in Commerce) which does not need a graduate degree to land you a good job - in this case, having that further degree really is less impressive as opposed to someone who has, say, years of corporate/ internship experience which matters more.

I hope this would answer your question.

All the best!!

For my BA, PGCE and MA, actually getting the qualification was the big deal for me.

But for my PhD, it was the process more than the outcome.

The process of doing a doctorate changed me in ways no other form of study could have done. It was a profound experience.

Yes, it was brilliant to be awarded the doctorate, but without the learning process which took me there, the qualification on its own is worthless.

Both. The cumulative GPA is reflective of the semester GPA. Therefore, if your semester GPA is bad 9 times out of 10, your cumulative GPA is going to be bad. Its hard to overcome a bad semester GPA and cumulative GPA after the freshman year; grades are set in stone pretty much at that point.

As a rule, admission is more interested in cumulative GPA; however, semester GPA is relevant in that they like to see an upward trend — improvement over time — not the reverse. For example, it may well be that freshman year GPA is lower than junior year, which arguably, is the most important because it’s the last full year that a college or university sees before making an admission decision (e.g., you apply during your senior year).
