Hopefully my gcses are good enough. I think I need to retake my Chemistry. I got an A in year 10 but I might retake it in year 12 to get A*. But im predicted overall 5A* 3A 1B and 1E(Hate computing, worst decision ever)
I am not sure what to chose for university. I equally enjoy maths, physics and chemistry. I have heard that chemistry degree prospects are terrible and I would neglect maths and physics. But I would enjoy chemistry. However, I heard that chem eng has good prospects and salary, plus I would be able to combine maths, physics and chemistry. However, I heard that there is hardly any chemistry in chem eng and engineering at university is very workload heavy. What do I do
Hi Kai,
I was in a similar position to you last year, and ended up choosing chemistry. Having done a year of it I've decided to switch courses to chemeng (luckily my uni's allowing me, but I have to restart from year one).
For me chemistry has very little maths (only phys chem has maths - and it's very dumbed down compared to what the engineers do), so if you really enjoy maths do chemeng. Also doing a hard course with great career prospects can be a real motivator - or in my case the reverse.

Hope this helps!
Hey Where do you study chem eng? And what modules of mechanics should be studied for the benefit of studying chem eng. And how much physics is there? And is it possible to understand without studying physics at a level?
