Hey guys I am an International Student. I am very interested in applying for Materials Engineering. Actually I am confused which one to chose materials or mechanical. I am very interested in chem and in IGCSE I lost the chance of becoming a world topper by only 1 mark. When I entered IB 11th year my dad forced me to drop Chemistry and go for commerce field. I took physics though to keep my options open. Now my dad has agreed and I really wanna do Materials Engg but I dont have chem in IB it is written on the websites that u need one from chem or phy. Can I still apply for this degree, Ur view? Should I apply provided i didnt study chem in 11,12 even though its my fav subject? Will my chances of getting an offer b less in compared to the people with chemistry?

Yeah it was actually really good to just experience the uni environment and stuff too. I found it really hard to get any specific work experience. But I did the engineering education scheme and so i'm counting on that, plus the headstart course and my other extra curricular stuff on being enough :/ Did you manage to find any work experience? :smile:

hello,sorry for the late reply was banned for 3 weeks for silly reasons :s-smilie:

haha anyway i was recently accepted for engineering work experience @ Airbus UK so im waiting for them to give me some dates so i can get it done with xD Umm im also awaiting some work experience from Rolls Royce :smile:

. Its good that you heard some experience you can put that on ur CV for when your looking for a job employers want to see lots of experience in an individual along with an impressive degree.
