Dual degree (BEng/BSc) - most useful science major?

[MourningTide]

Hi guys I am interested in studying chemical engineering at university next year and also want to do a double degree with a bachelor of science.
However I am having a hard time deciding what major would be the most useful...any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Possible Majors (that interest me):
Biochemistry and Molecular biology
Biomedical science
Chemistry
Maths
Physics

My primary interests as a chemical engineer will be working in the biochemical/biomedical, pharmaceutical or fuels industry.
Cheers

I understand your dilemma in trying to choose the most useful major for your dual degree. Each of the majors you mentioned have their own unique strengths and applications in the field of chemical engineering. Ultimately, the most useful major for you will depend on your specific career goals and interests.

If you are interested in working in the biochemical or biomedical industry, a major in biochemistry and molecular biology or biomedical science would be most relevant. These majors will provide you with a strong understanding of the biological processes involved in the production of pharmaceuticals and other medical products.

On the other hand, if you are more interested in working in the pharmaceutical industry, a major in chemistry would be a good choice. This major will give you a strong foundation in understanding the chemical processes involved in drug development and production.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in research and development, a major in physics or mathematics can also be beneficial. These majors will provide you with strong analytical and problem-solving skills that are highly valued in the industry.

Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing a major should be your passion and interest in the subject. Consider taking courses in each of the majors to get a better understanding of which one you enjoy the most. You can also speak to academic advisors or professionals in the industry to gain insight into the skills and knowledge that are most valuable in your desired field. Good luck with your decision!
