This possible at all?
For careers such as doctor etc would be cool if it requires a degree to join.

Yes, but it doesn't really have anything to do with Homeworld Universities. A degree is still a degree whether it comes from those, from Uni World, an honorary one by way of an LTR, or the player granting one with DebugEnabler.

The initial question is, using the medical career as an example, do you wish to deny entry to the entire career if the degree is lacking or do you wish to restrict job progression so that it requires a degree to advance beyond something like Level 4 or maybe Level 6? I expect you will want to examine each career on a case by case basis, but I don't think my local hospital requires a degree to empty bedpans (not that I've checked lately, I'm kind of better suited for the job I already have). :)

This is all governed by StoryProgression and the SP Career module though, not the Careers mod. There's a few different ways to approach this, but a custom Automatic caste can be created for those with the required degree and then career entry can be limited to those in the caste. A couple of castes for each career may be required to arrange for Level specific advancement. Does this give you enough to get started and are you using or intending to use SP?
