The majority of succesful web programmers in my life didn't rely on university to achieve their success. You may learn where to start in university, but being succesful in this field depends on your interest to learn more. I can help you with this advice.. Select the field of programming that the market needs. Don't waste your time in learning things that the market will never need just for show. Programming is not like a river or sea, it is like an ocean, if you don't know where you should spend your time and efforts, you will never reach.

As long as you are skilled enough in web development, it doesn't matter which degree you have.

 

However, Engineering degree in Computer science/Information Technology family would be given preference by many.

Mainly they require Bachelor degree just to make sure you are educated and have been through the education system.

But having an experience through self-learning combined with multiple projects will certainly land you a job in Web development.
