Title: What is Chem required for?
Post by: Nato on November 18, 2013, 08:44:08 pm

Hey Guys, i am seriously considering dropping chem next year to take on MUEP maths (will also be doing spesh, methods, physics and english, and already done a 3/4))

I just wanted to know which courses chem are a prerequisite for, and which ones are good to have a chem background in. I am interested in studying engineering in the future

thanks.

i would say chem knowledge would be helpful for medicine and health related courses

Well there is not much cross over with chem and eng unless you're considering chemical engineering...nevertheless you might be doing foundation chem in uni, which is equivalent to y12 chem

Chemistry is generally required in science-related degrees (although usually, it's just one of the three sciences: Biology/Chemistry/Physics). I'd say that Chemistry keeps more options open, but if you aren't going to pursue a career in science/medicine/etc., then you could drop it.
