Chemical engineering offers

Love to hear that the city is great as I have heard mixed opinions from peers that have visited. Do you mind me asking if you received the alevel grades they required ? And when it comes to the placement do they help you find it or is it quite independent?

I got a grade less than my offer (in my geography A-Level) but got the required grades for my 2 other A-Levels (Maths and Chem), therefore I don't think they minded. My year also had quite bad grade boundaries since it was the year post-covid grade inflation, therefore I think a lot of my year got lower than anticipated. I don't know about this year, I believe it's just circumstantial to how your peers perform. You have to find it yourself, but I think that's universal for any university for engineering, AFAIK none of them find it for you. The uni supported me in the sense they had advice for applicants, a great careers service (but again you have to arrange the meetings yourself) as well as posting placement opportunities, and had a few sessions where employers would come in. What I would say is that there were a few companies, including the one that I got my placement at, that were seemingly biased toward hiring directly from Manchester, so in terms of prestige, I think it's slightly ahead of the other two universities you listed (but again this is pretty anecdotal). So essentially, it's independent, but with hard work and use of the services available to you, as well as obviously having good grades, it's definitely achievable to find a placement.

Hello, I want to do a masters in chemical engineering and I I can’t decide between Bath (AAB) , Manchester(AAA) and Newcastle(ABB). I applied for masters at bath and manchester but for a bachelors at newcastle as the entry requirements were lower, with the hope of switching to a masters if I go to the uni. I don’t mind whether it is a city uni or campus my main aim is to have a strong career start after the degree. I would also like to do a placement year but haven’t applied for one, also hoping they will let me switch. At newcastle the placement year is done within the 4 years same with manchester but for manchester you need A*AA to do it and I doubt I will get that in my alevels. My predicted grades are AAA but Im not sure if I will get that. I haven’t had the chance to visit the unis or attend any offer holder days as I recieved the offers quite late. Does anyone have any suggestions on which uni is best, most lenient when it comes to switching to a placement year and not receiving the entry requirements but still receiving a place?
