Can a Microbiologist Pursue a Chemical Engineering Masters Degree?

AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from a microbiology background to a master's in chemical engineering may present challenges due to the differing foundational knowledge required. A microbiologist might lack the necessary engineering and advanced math skills typically acquired in a chemical engineering undergraduate program. It is likely that the individual would need to complete additional coursework in engineering and mathematics to meet the prerequisites for a graduate program in chemical engineering. Therefore, while pursuing a master's in chemical engineering is possible, it may require significant additional study to build the required background.

It may be difficult for a biologist to have enough engineering background to be successful at a graduate level.
 
Chemical engineering majors divert from chemistry courses to chem engineering courses after ochem; you'd probably have to start-over there and take all the engineering and math requirements.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
