1.1 Requirements to Pursue a Chemical Engineering Degree

Here you can explore the different routes to studying Chemical Engineering at university level. The focus for the admissions department will be your chosen subjects in your post-16 education (A-levels, IB, Scottish Highers, etc), but they will also be interested in your passions beyond your studies that demonstrate your interest in being a chemical engineer.

As with many engineering subjects, Chemical Engineering is highly mathematical in nature and therefore will always require Mathematics as one of your subjects. Many universities will also require Chemistry or Physics, or sometimes both. Typically, all three of these subjects are required to be completed to a high standard.
