Admissions Applying for chemical engineering

AI Thread Summary
Applying to the University of Manchester and Imperial College for Chemical Engineering raises concerns about not having taken physics at AS or A-level, despite both universities offering ABB/AAB entry requirements without specifying physics. The applicant is currently studying Maths, Chemistry, and Design Technology, with a strong willingness to catch up on mathematics and physics if admitted. Current grades include an A in Maths, B in Chemistry, C in Design Technology, and a D in Biology, which is being dropped. Predicted grades align with the entry requirements, prompting a request for advice from current Chemical Engineering students regarding the lack of physics background and overall application strategy.

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.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
