I'm thinking of applying to Imperial, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester. Still unsure on 5tth :/
LEEDS

Is this for UCL chem eng mans??
Leeds is by far the better choice. Which rankings are you referring to?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of firming either Manchester or Leeds . Even though Manchester is higher in the ranking compared to Leeds they are asking for AAA, while Leeds asks for A*AA .
What university you think is better in this course, regardless of their requirements? . If you have any ideas about the universities and the course plz share .

New CUG rankings for ChemEng:

UCL up 5 places, although it's too soon for their course revamp to be reflected in the student satisfaction element.

I've firmed Leeds and insured Manchester, one thing was I'm from Manchester and obviously would rather move and also the course at leeds is broken down to like 35% exams rest CW and labs.
Although I already have my offer and have accepted it, I am questioning whether chemical engineering is right for me. I am not really sure where my interests lie - at the moment I would like to work in biomedical and bioprocessing areas. Will I get a chance to study much of this early in chem eng do you think? I am also quite worried about the physics content. I know that this is an engineering degree but I am not a huge fan of physics. I did it at AS and found it quiet challenging and for the most part, I was quite disinterested. I do, however, enjoy maths and I am quite enjoying the mechanics modules. I am worried I will not enjoy the course and I am thinking I should be going for something more science based, rather than engineering. Can anyone help?
Which uni do you hold offer from and what is the he offer?

Maybe not to start with, but my department has lots of lecturers working in bio areas, and this really reflects in their teaching. I'm taking a module this semester on pharmaceutical manufacturing, and this is shared with the Bioengineering course. They do more modules on medicine and stuff, so maybe look into modules offered on that course? I'm sure if your firm choice has a course similar and you ask them if you could swap as you have realised you would like to specialise earlier in your career they would consider it.
I'm on my gap year now starting chem eng at Leeds in sept; was talking to someone I knew from school who does chem eng at Birms and he's dropping out to do architecture he said it's just like advanced plumbing- I'm saying this cos it would be a real shame potentially wasting a year choosing a course you have no interest in. Check course content think about where u wanna be and ****

When I was in first year I'd tell everyone that asked what I was studying and didn't understand what chemical engineering was that it was basically 'fancy plumbing'... but now coming up to finish my 3rd you learn that it's honestly so much more than that. You see how it all fits together and learn to make critical design decisions that can mean million pound savings or huge sustainability improvements. You need to see the bigger picture to get the most out of the course.

Yeah but you can be a plumber with a btec ygm

it's alright to be hesitant mate. I think everybody questions whether they've made the right choice with chem eng and it's kinda to do with it being a bit of a wildcard course.
I think if you're interested in biomedical then chem eng is probably not the easiest or most common way to go. Bioprocessing - do you mean like design and operating bioreactors like fermentation in brewing, vaccine production or water treatement? if you are interested in that then chem eng would be a good choice. if you are more interested in drug discovery and medical device development? I would say a biotechnology, bioengineering, biomedical science or even some physics courses would be better. Something worth thinking about with the bio side of things is that a lot of people go in with higher levels degrees like phds. You'll find a lot of PhD bioprocess engineers in pharma but you won't find many PhD process engineers in manufacturing.
I reckon you should try and find a lecture series online to have a look over and see if you are really interested in chemeng. I don't think not enjoying physics will matter too much. Not enjoying design or the idea of doing trial-and-error type problems would be more of an issue.

nahh chemical engineers tell plumbers what they want and plumbers either mess it up or say they can't do it. you can be a process engineer with no qualifications or a hnc to be fair. just work up from shop floor. start as an operator and learn how the process works then move into a process engineer job.

That's really nice to hear, Chem eng has been the course I've wanted to do for a while and this dude hardly put me off but I just thought it would be worth checking.
