      I went to school in Scotland so I have highers rather than GCSEs. The highers I got were in Biology, Chemistry, Maths, English, Geography and Religious Studies. I then did an undergraduate degree (BSc) for 4 years (again in Scotland) in cell biology, a masters of science (MSc) for 1 year in drug design and biomedical science and a PhD in Virology (the study of viruses) for 4 years. I didnt need to do the MSc to get the PhD but I think it helped.

      My highest qualification is a PhD (which stands for Doctor of Philosophy, put simply I get to use the title Dr in front of my name!). I also have a masters and an undergraduate degree in maths.
