having those diplomas from microsoft and elsewhere shows that you have
knowledge of he specific technologies, that you are up to date and your
passion with technologies.
having a degree implies you have a strong fundamental basis, ethics and
ability to learn.
these are said generally speaking. you might find exceptions etc.
to answer the question if a uni degree is necessary or/and if the
certifications can replace it, my answer is that yes a degree is
important and necessary and offers a broader view (you can see the
whole picture).
