University Courses

Derrick oh SG

I have been researching about my university course for about 6 months after i got my A level results but i am still not sure if i should stick to my university course. Can i have some advice ? thanks

Well i got into NTU Biochemcial and chemcial science and i kind of have some doubts about this course.

1) How is this different from Chemcial engineering?

2) What other jobs can i get other than chemist and teacher?

3) Is it true that for this course, i cant get a job unless i go for further studies after i get my university degree?

Since i didnt do very well for A levels. gp:B , H2:BBD ,H1:A . I cant enter many of the better courses.

Currently i am thinking if choosing environmental engineering is a better choice .However i am not sure what awaits me for that course as well.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

Either choice, your future is good. But if I am u, I'd stick with your curent course.

There are opportunities other than just academic/ research positions.

Biotech is big business globally. Some of these jobs require biotech AND chem knowledge.

Of course being a phd has its advantages but it doesn't guarantee you a top management position. It still boils down to the company you work for, your business know how and a lot of luck.
