7. Next Steps

Congratulations on reaching the final module of the Chemical Engineering University Taster Course! We have prepared a checklist of tasks that you might want to complete to prepare yourself for undertaking a Chemical Engineering degree.

• Research the range of University degrees related to Chemical Engineering which interest you.
• Understanding the modules at different universities offering Chemical Engineering to gauge which align with your interests.
• Research applications of Chemical Engineering in the real world.
• Read up on Chemical Engineering career pathways.
• Gain experience in engineering that can help demonstrate your interest in the subject for your University applications.
• Consider the option of working on an EPQ to further demonstrate your interest in the field.
• Write a strong personal statement that not only demonstrates your knowledge but also emphasises a passion for Chemical Engineering and its applications.
• Look into becoming a Student Member of the IChemE.
• Take the chance to explore other Knowness University Taster Courses.

Chemical Engineering is a diverse and fascinating subject, with influences from all areas of science and applications spreading numerous industries. As the world continues to develop and change, the knowledge of engineers continues to be valuable in tackling some of the greatest challenges of today. Existing processes and products must be maintained, but new technologies will continue to evolve with the help of the engineer.

Studying a Chemical Engineering degree will equip you with the knowledge to tackle difficult engineering problems, and enable you to apply our knowledge to real world day-to-day issues. Whether you are interested in researching processes and technologies that contribute to modern medicine, running a busy and dynamic manufacturing facility, or want a challenging university education which can prepare you for a career entirely unrelated to engineering, a Chemical Engineering degree will be valuable.If, after studying this course, you think Chemical Engineering may not be for you, the Knowness platform has plenty of other University Taster Courses for you to explore, exploring other engineering specialisms as well as different fields of academia!
