chemical engineering help

Hey guys
Im currently a 6th form student and i will be applying to universities for 2014. Unfortunately i'm such an indecisive person when it comes to what course i would like to undertake
For As i am studying chemistry biology maths and economics and previously i wanted to apply for Dentistry. However, my mind has changed (typical) and now i'm thinking about either Pharmacy or chemical engineering because they both involve the subjects i enjoy most (science and maths).
BUT I NEED HELP!!! I've researched about chemical engineering but i don't know what i can do in order to increase my chances of getting in. For instance, you can do work experience for pharmacy and then write about everything in your personal statement. What can i do for chemical engineering that could I could potentially add to my personal statement in the near future. Sorry for the long paragraph. Any help is appreciated!

Hey! I'm pretty much in the same position of you! But deciding between Optometry and Chem Engineering, chem engineering sounds great, more credible and better outcomes but I'm pretty much set for Optometry as I've been working as an optical assistant for about a year and a half now but idk if I want to commit myself to an entire career in it :/
I'm so confused!

tell me about it! im more interested in chemistry and biology rather than chem and maths so thats opened another door to biochemical engineering, which is still part of chemical engineering right? i dont even know... ive tried to research it but everything that is coming up is about biomedical engineering. this sucks

hey, im a first year at leeds doing chemical engineering and coincidentially enough wanted to do dentistry before hand (got a condtional offer but just missed my grade requirements for it).

I can't really give any advice on it since I got in through clearing with a dentistry personal statement, so I'm not even sure of what there requirements for this course are. But any work experience in the process industry - where items are manufactured, processed etc or just generally in the chemistry industry/general fields of engineering will always make you stand out, good thing to talk about in interviews etc etc

biochemical engineering sounds great too, i'd totally consider it if i didn't hate bio so much haha. The more I look into uni courses, the more confused i get!

Actually chemical engineering, despite its name, doesn't involve much chemistry at all, it's more maths and physics than chemistry

how are you finding it so far? yeh i see what youre saying but its so hard to find work experience in these areas sometimes.
sorry for asking loads of questions but what subjects did you do?
you see i dont do physics so im wondering whether ill struggle with chem eng

The Pharmacy job market is completely saturated. I would go with Chemical Engineering as it is more of a 'mans degree', if I dare say it.

that's put me off it a little because I never liked Physics much

I'm a chemical engineering first year student at Newcastle, and don't worry about not doing physics a-level: I didn't and I know a lot of people in my class didn't either, and we have settled in fine. Be warned it is a lot of maths, but has chemistry and biology aspects too. Most people don't get any specific chemical engineering work experience, but any sort of processing/engineering work experience is beneficial. But they don't seem to be too bothered either way as I had lots of medical work experience and no engineering and I still got a place on MEng I would recommend this degree to anyone who loves maths and science, and is willing to do a lot of hard work!

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any more questions and I will try to help

Hey i am thinking of doing chemical engineering but unfortunately not taken maths, do you know how the foundation years work at newcastle university for chemical engineering?

Thanks
