Will the JLPT be useful?

hey im reading for degree in japanese at the moment, and i was thinking about the qualification that i will recieve at the end of my 4 years and i was thinking which would be higher? A JLPT level 1 or a BSc in Japanese with a year abroad included? Doing the JPLT would be no skin off my back as i have to study regulary anyways, and for only $50 (thats about £25-£30 to me) i could just apply for the test and complete them alongside my degree.

Do you think that it would be worth it? or would the degree be worth as much or more than the JPLT tests? :p
