Chemical Engineering Uni Melb

Hey guys! In year 12 now and just considered chemical engineering as a possible career option. Was just wondering whether it would be required of me to have taken physics to major in chemical systems, and how much of the course is physics based? Would chem and specialist suffice? I don't really like physics lol

Physics is not required for the Chemical Systems major. Lots of maths though.

For entrance into the B-Sci you need a 30 in English, a 25 in either Methods+Spec or Methods+a science (so Chem is fine).

My boss was a chemical engineer, and apparently there wasnt really that much chenistry in the degree. There was plenty of maths and physics involved however - especially when he was designing a chemical reactor as part of his 4th yr project.

If you dont like physics, why the interest in engineering? I doubt there are many engineering disciplines out there where physics isnt a basis for its existence.
