what training or schooling is required to be a scientist?

Answer 1

What kind of scientist? I am an environmental scientist and have bachelors and masters degree.

Answer 2

depends what you're wanting to do. To follow the scientific method, you could be 5.

To work in a lab, 4 year degree (bachelor of science, with a major in a science, bio, chem, bio chem) would be fine.

To advance and do research in a field, a Ph.D. (or some one with one) would be required for credibility. So, in most cases, that's a 4 year college degree in your field, + a masters program (2yrs+) + a Ph.D. program (nother couple years)

Given the brains, you could easily find yourself publishing papers in high school, if you find a qualified person to back you and say you know what's up.

Answer 3

In the UK, basically you will need:

GCSE English
GCSE Maths
Relevant GCSE's, such as chemistry, physics, etc

A Levels, in appropriate subjects

A first degree in a scientific subject, such as Computer Science, Nano Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Biology, etc.

There are many occupations where you can be classed as a scientist though, and each will have certain individual requirements for that position.

Answer 4

There're no real requirements. You'll get more respect, though, if you've gone to college and gotten a B.S. or a B.A. in one of the science subjects (you know, Biology, Physics, Geology, Astronomy, Chemistry, ...), then gone on to grad school, graduated with a Ph.D. in one of the science subjects.

Answer 5

well.....a bachelors degree in your field of study is a start...then a masters and then a ph.d. if you wish to further your studies...and then somewhere in between all of that you can do research and have your work published(start with a paper)...piece of cake...remember...how do u eat an elephant?..one bite at a time

Answer 6

Absolutely none if you want to be an "expert" on global warming.

Answer 7

it depends on you what to do...
