I don't think I can do that either :frown:

I do chemistry and maths :/

I've got an offer for September to do Aeronautical Engineering! So excited!!!

I'd like to do that too!! :biggrin:

You've got an offer???
What did you get for GCSE and a level?
Which grades do you need? :yep:

GCSE I got 2 A's, 5 B's and 3 C's, at AS I got BCCE :smile:

It's supposed to be a really good course, hard but worth it! Yep USW gave me a conditional offer, I need DDD so shouldn't be a problem.

I think you can, especially if you already have one of the core two (maths or physics). Don't rule anything out, uni's can be really flexible with their offers if they like you based on your statement. Don't give up :smile:

You know the only uni's which require physics as part of the chemical engineering course are UCL and ICL right?

Look at manchester for example, just requires a science subject and maths and is one of the top chemical engineering uni's in the country.

Have you done any research?

thanks

next year i want to try and find some work experience, maybe something chem eng related or chemistry related, to see if chem eng is really for me :smile:

another set-back though is that i take statistic modules with maths when engineering degrees prefer mechanics, however i've only become interested in chem eng recently, argh :frown:

oh well

I have, but I can't come to a conclusion on whether uni's want physics or not :confused:

Physics really isn't the be all end all people think it is in regards to ChemEng.

Someone has sense on this thread!

Aerospace ftw, I'm not a female, but I can't wait to do it :biggrin:

You don't actually need physics to study chem eng, I study Maths (I don't do mechanics either, I do stats), Chemistry and Biology at A2 I didn't take physics at AS and I've got offers from Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham so far

If you really want to do it go for it, just check the university's website :smile:
