Chemistry required for Mechanical Engg?
Need help to finalize IB choices. Currently looking to do maths physics and DT at HL and English French History at SL. If I’m planning to study mechanical engineering, will the fact that I’m not studying Chemistry hurt my chances?
I plan to apply to competitive unis in the UK and Europe.

No, won't hurt your chances for UK universities.

Your choices are fine, the main subjects that you need are maths and physics which you have.

Hi @Sarave
Each university has different entry requirements but typically for Mechanical Engineering maths and physics are the main requirement and not chemistry (but I would check any courses/universities you are considering just in case!)
For context, the entry requirements for Lancaster University:
International Baccalaureate 32 points for BEng (36 points for MEng) overall with 16 points from the best 3 Higher Level subjects including either:
1.
Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grade 6 in a HL Physical Science
2.
Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grade 6 in two SL Physical Sciences
3.
Mathematics SL grade 7 (Analysis and Approaches) plus HL grade 6 in a Physical Science
I hope this helps!
