What did you get at AS?
What are you predicted?

And well done

Just had a mock interview with a professor who was working in the chemical engineering department of cambridge. it was pretty tough, luckily it's not a real interview, but i begin to lose heart.

I'm sure you'll be fine, they're supposed to be tough right?
What kind of questions did they ask?

Has anyone here been invited to a UCAS open day for Bath?

I heard they ask abstract questions like 'Is a Jaffa cake a cake?' at Oxbridge interviews =/ Apparently the answer has something to do with the VAT of cakes and biscuits etc. The questions for Chem Eng interviews would probs be more science-related though

Hey guys, What do you think of UCL Chemical engineering department? Do you think is it as respected as the social sciences department?

Pfft, no way. Engineering is definitely on the weaker departments of ucl. Having had that said, its still a very decent department. It may the weaker departments, but ucl is a worldclass uni

like how to separate co2 from other gases, i answered something about condensation and solubility, but the professor told me they are too expensive in terms of industry. then i stuck. and there were a few more questions like this, pretty hard for me.

Wahh? you don't need Further Maths lol They want 3 A-levels including normal Maths and Chemistry. Nice average you got there btw Have you already submitted your application?

Actually, im an EU student and therefore I do not do A levels but the European BAC (which is a bit more difficult) and at Bath's website they say this "Applicants should be taking 5 periods of Mathematics plus the Advanced Mathematics unit, giving a total of 8 periods. " I emailed them mainly saying that ive got Physics , Economics which are two mathematical subjects but havent received a response yet .

I have applied to Cambridge (sst johns), Imperial, Edinburgh, Manchester and im still undecided between UCL/lufbra for my last choice, which was intended to be Bath what about you?

Oh I see :/ well as they are saying that you 'should' be taking advanced maths, it doesn't automatically mean you wouldn't get an offer from them if you aren't. If you really want to go there, I suggest ringing them up sometime in the next week and getting a quick response from them, then you can decide from there.

I applied to unis in South England, including UCL, due to personal preferences and two of mine are for Biochemical engineering so I can't really help you a lot for your last choice. I'm sure your other uni choices would give you an offer though

can someone tell me how long nottingham took to reply for chemical engineering..how many days?

[chemengmeng]

Sup people

I've finally decided on my choices and application is ready to go, just need some quick feedback on whether I should have back up choice such as teeside or swansea which require BBB

birmingham AAA
loughborough AAB
bath AAB
imperial A*A*A
manchester AAA

i got AAA at As
