Switch to pure science after engg

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Ive a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. I happened to take it because I did not take education seriously that time. After taking engg, I realised that I'm not good at maths or physics. I now have an interest in studying further. I find Biology very interesting and am very good at it.

Could you please tell me if I can take up any post graduate course in pure biology after an undergraduation in chem. E?

Thanks.

You should contact the universities you have in mind for postgrad study and ask them directly. It may be possible, though I expect it will depend on the exact nature of the course you are interested in and the university itself.

 

My initial thought, but be aware I have nothing to do with biology and chemisty, is that study in molecular biology or biochemisty may suit your existing skills better than say a course in zoololgy.

 

But as I say, please contact the universities you are interested in directly.

Hi.As a Chem-E you can specialize in fields that do not require math.One of these fields is biotechnology , or biological engineering(well you may need some math here , but not much).Good luck!
