How difficult is year 2 Chemical Engineering?

I always have this panic before university begins. It happened last year too, I was afraid of falling behind everyone. I'm not naturally good nor do I particularly like maths or physics, and even now I still think at times that I did the wrong degree... However last year when things went well at times, I enjoyed it thoroughly and it felt like a great choice.. But a lot of work was needed, and second year will count towards my final degree. :s

So... What I'm trying to say is... I just want some chemical engineers who have finished second year to tell me how it's like compared to the first. Thank you

I would say it is quite a big jump especially if you're applying to placements, as these applications take a lot of time(i'm talking about atleast 3/4 hours for 1 application).
But it doesnt mean that you can't get a 2.1 or even a first. Work hard and everything is possible.
good luck

Thanks for the reply I see you've finished second year

How was the work compared to first? A big jump up?

Also, did you apply for summer placements? When did you apply for them? And how can I find placements?

Thanks a lot!

mind if I ask which uni you're at?

Hey, I'm also going into second year, just wondering if you managed to find a placement?
