Becoming Network Engineer

Hi Everyone

I am currently studying General IT course at college in london. I have studied this course for two years. Right now I am preparing for university next year to study computer communication network degree. I have big interest in networking and hopefully I would like to purse a career as a network engineer. I have basic knowledge about networking which I learnt in my course. I have heard that it is better to get networking certification such as Cisco and microsoft rather than studying a degree.

Can I get some advice please?
