Hi sir, I am in the process of starting my personal statement and I want to focus on the pharmaceutical/drug production side of chem eng. Do you have any book recommendations or articles that aren't too complicated to comprehend for an A level student so I can learn more and perhaps include it in my statement?
Hey there, thanks for reaching out! I would first recommend looking on the IChemE “the chemical engineer” magazine and see if there was anything interesting to you in the previous issue (it should be publicly available) and then go from there. You can watch this video here (th-cam.com/video/eporH5Gw1_8/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared) for the best books to read for your application too! All the best and any further questions do not hesitate to ask! 🙌
Do a comparison video with Australian chemical engineers It would be helpful to all Or interview them about the course and job opportunities after course It would help lot of people I hope video up coming soon
Hey, I was wondering what sort of things you’d recommend to do during university aside from a placement year in order to maximise your chance of getting a job in Chem Eng. Also, would doing a masters significantly increase your chance of getting a job? Great video btw :)
Thank you! I was planning to do a video on this, so I don’t have the full research done, but off the top of my head here’s what I would recommend- Make sure you get involved in clubs, societies and projects as these are the perfect way to show off your soft skills to your employers which are just as important as technical knowledge, so look to join committees or boards of things you are passionate about even if it’s not directly ChemEng. Ensure that you try to use software during your projects and coursework within uni as much as possible. Being able to demonstrate that you know how to use aspen, run simulations on simulink and can code are skills that will make you very much more employable in certain areas of ChemEng. The final thing I would recommend is to try to get summer projects. Internships are really only accessible for penultimate year students, and it is very difficult to get one before then (you could always try but it is harder); instead, maybe try to use the summer to teach yourself a technical skill for your target industry for ChemEng eg lean six sigma, maple. If possible, try to get an undergraduate research project for the summer in a project related to your career interests (e.g. an electrochemical cell project if you are interested in energy, a lab top rig refinery project if oil and gas etc etc) as this often would require you to learn more about certain softwares and technical knowledge about your target industry. Best way to find out would be by asking lecturers how things run at your uni. With respect to a masters, absolutely as you can choose electives specific to the files you are interested in eg pick pharmaceutical modules if you like pharma, biotechnology modules for biotech etc etc. I hope this helps and any further questions do not hesitate to ask!
@@ChemEngWeekly Would it be difficult to even do a summer internship after year 1 or 2 as well. And would you ever consider making a video on how to revise Chem Eng at university.
@@kn7899 no worries at all! I think it is difficult, but not impossible; again this is something I need to research into further before giving hard details advice. Nearly all the summer internships I have seen secured prior to penultimate year have been either a) through Professor or family contacts, b) lying on the application form about graduation year (definitely do NOT do this at all costs), or c) talking to recruiters at campus recruitment events and having them make special dispensation for you. I aim to have a hard set up framework for a video out by the end of the academic year, but until then this should help! 👍 And with respect to the other video on revision, I have originally shelved that video but I think it maybe worth putting out… expect something quite soon! Any further questions do not hesitate to ask👍
@@ChemEngWeekly bro can we chemical engineers can get job with decent salary after masters in uk Because already u are there So share ur opinion and suggestions I am future planning masters Plz do reply
Yes we can! The job market generally is not doing too well at the moment, but that’s across all sectors- I would say that in the UK you can get a job with decent salary after chemeng for sure! It’s better than most other countries except the Nordic countries, the US and a couple others. Hope this helps 👍

A great collaboration and an interesting comparison between the two countries!! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it my friend! 🙏
Thank you for having me! 🎉😉
It was our pleasure! Looking forward to more collabs in the future 🤝
That was an informative and fun video...I liked it👍
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Well-done our very own Hassan kigo❤
It was a pleasure to have him!
Hmm
Thanks for the information
You’re very welcome!

Interesting transition! Which country was this in?
@@ChemEngWeekly Abuja, Nigeria
Good one 👍
Thank you!
Well done 👍

Bro are you serious about the fact that chemical engineers are highly employed in Nigeria?
I just knew we were going to lose
Hassan is a good player of rock paper scissors!😅
Are u happy studying in uk compared to USA
Yes absolutely, but I’m from the UK so it’s a biased answer. I didn’t want to move abroad personally which is why I stayed here👍
@@ChemEngWeekly bro can we chemical engineers can get job with decent salary after masters in uk

So share ur opinion and suggestions
I am future planning masters
