Chemical engineering 2016 entry

Anon20160630

Nah this is only his experience, I know many chemical engineers in my family who work in O&G and most of them are loaded and happy with their jobs. Also O&G is only one of the many many different career paths open for chem eng students.

Humbly have to point out, even your family members' experience is also anecdotal. Just because they had a good ride doesn't mean everyone else will.

See this BBC News article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-36491937

I'd wager at least a few of those 120,000 job losses will be chemical engineers. The advice would be get loaded while you can, because then you'll have to spend it supporting yourself without a job.

There's no harm contacting them now, but they may not be able to give much info...

I'll be starting in September and I'm looking at buying a laptop. I'm used to using mac and love the new MacBooks but I do I need a Windows laptop for engineering? I could always run parallels, but I'm not sure what the point of it being a Mac is if I run it as a Windows machine?

Hi everyone, the University of Surrey has some limited places on Chemical Engineering (2016 entry) through Adjustment and Clearing. If your results were not quite what you expected (or better than you hoped) take a look at our site: http://ow.ly/117O303m1HC and give our team a call :smile:

Bit off topic, but I'm doing Chemical Engineering at Leeds and was wondering if I could get a job too? I know it's a heavy course but I was hoping to also get a job while I was there. Anybody have any experience of doing all this?
