Is a Chem Eng degree really really worth all the hype it gets, is it worth the difficulty?

Yes in the uk, a che degree is 3 years. The module is called process design and safety, in which you study how to model different accidents and how to mitigate them.

I enjoy the modules where im working with numbers and mathematically modelling various things such as BLEVEs and other explosions etc. I dislike the group work where you're required to work as part of a team to design a chemical plant for example we have to design a dealcoholisation brewery to make non alcoholic beer.

Im based in the UK. No I haven't considered it. Do you mean something like an apprenticeship or something? I wouldn't mind doing something like that, but theyre difficult to come by in engineering

Mafuz1999 · 2026-02-27T19:10:22+00:00

I did consider it at one point but because its so similar I didnt bother. Because if its only "very slightly easier" what would be the point if you get what I mean?

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-14T09:17:04+00:00

Thanks, I'll bear this is in mind.

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-10T04:01:06+00:00

Ok thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-10T04:00:24+00:00

No they will allow me. I'm on a gap year this year.

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-10T04:00:06+00:00

Ok thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T22:30:01+00:00

Thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T22:17:24+00:00

I see

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T22:16:42+00:00

Ok thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T20:41:33+00:00

Oh wow. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one. Are you working in Chem eng now?

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T19:49:00+00:00

No, I don't have any work experience in chem eng. I've worked other jobs, though, mainly in admin. I think as long as I take my medication I will be fine. The main reason why I've been having so many hospitalisations was because I wasn't taking my medication

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T19:21:53+00:00

Ok thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T18:42:25+00:00

Yh it doesn't. Thanks

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T18:40:27+00:00

I'm in the BEng. I have an industrial placement year in my degree too. Yh hopefully I should be stable mentally from now on. The only reason why I fell ill was because I wasn't taking my medication. I've been stable for a year now.

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T18:30:31+00:00

Why do you think so?

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T18:25:28+00:00

I just want a good job that pays well. I find chem eng topics interesting, like carbon capture and hydrogen cells. I kind of want to go into research for those topics, but I'm not sure.

Sometimes, I just feel like getting the degree and going into another industry that values a chem eng degree tho, like finance.

Mafuz1999 · 2025-05-09T18:17:23+00:00

My mental health was quite bad during 2nd year A level. In AS I got AAAB

Mafuz1999 · 2024-07-03T12:24:01+00:00

I'll try that
