Applying for chemical engineering

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on applying to the University of Manchester and Imperial College for a Chemical Engineering program without having taken Physics at the A-level. The applicant is currently studying Mathematics, Chemistry, and Design Technology, and is predicted to achieve ABB/AAB grades. Despite concerns about the lack of Physics, the applicant is committed to catching up on necessary knowledge in mathematics and physics to succeed in university. Input from current Chemical Engineering students is sought to address these concerns.

PREREQUISITES
  • A-level qualifications in Mathematics and Chemistry
  • Understanding of UCAS application procedures
  • Basic knowledge of Chemical Engineering principles
  • Familiarity with university admission requirements for engineering programs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum for Chemical Engineering at the University of Manchester and Imperial College
  • Explore online resources for self-study in Physics relevant to Chemical Engineering
  • Connect with current Chemical Engineering students through forums or social media
  • Investigate tutoring options for Mathematics and Physics to strengthen foundational knowledge
USEFUL FOR

Prospective Chemical Engineering students, particularly those without a Physics background, and individuals seeking guidance on university applications in engineering disciplines.

I am currently thinking of applying to the university of manchester and imperial college in my Ucas form.

However, i didn't take physics in my AS or A-levels. Although they offer ABB/AAB for Chemical engineering without mention of physics, i am concerned.

I currently take Maths, Chem, and DT as my A-level choices. And i AM willing to work hard to catch up to other students at university (if i go) in terms of mathematics and physics.

It would be deeply appreciated if anyone who takes chemical engineering gives some advice on this dilemma.

cheers.

I forgot to mention what grades i currently got. I got a A in maths, B in chem, C in DT and D in Biology. The D in biology in doesn't bother me too much as I am dropping it.

Most likely I'm predicted a ABB/AAB, which makes it 'fine' to make a valid appliance to both these universities.

However, it would be appreciated to hear from knowing people.
