Process and Chemical Engineering

leavingcert

I am hoping to do process and chemical engineerig next year in UCC and im just wondering can some people who are doing it can give me and insight into the course, i've obviouolsy talked to the lecturers and guidence councillor but id like to get some student experiences.

Also i am from Galway and i'm taking the leap and heading down to cork on my own next year which im very scared about to be honest and im wondering where can i stay that i dont have to pay big payments at a time and can pay weekly or monthly but where alot of students live?

Thanks

I hope you are interested in pipes,valves, paperwork and discussions about health and safety because that's where you're heading with a degree in Chem Eng.

Hey! I'm studying process engineering in UCC myself.. hopefully heading into third year if all goes well with exams etc. It's a brilliant course although quite competitive. It's a small department and the lecturers really look out for you which I'm sure will be a comfort for you..being so far away from home and all:P
There's plenty of chemistry and some applied maths. Try and learn a programming language over the summer too if you can. It'll help with modules such as Visual Basic and MATLAB and it's generally a good skill to have in this area.

Best of luck
