Can I switch major from bioorganic chemistry to chemical engineering?

[yliaz]

I am a senior student at a foreign university. I major in biological chemistry and especially I've focused on organic chemistry. Now I belong to a natural product chemistry research group. I spend most of my time on my research work to submit bachelor's thesis (our department students have to do this). However, now I become interested in chemical engineering. My lab isn't related chemical engineering and doesn't use engineering aproach. Also, I don't have enough engineering background; I took only some environmental engineering classes. I really want to learn chemical engineering so I'd like to apply M.S. chemical engineering. Do you think is it possible? Are my chances of admission very low? Can master students take some undergraduate level course to gain the necessary background in chemical engineering?

Thank you!

What does your math and physics background look like? If you have some coursework through differential equations and a 2 semester sequence of physics then I think you would have a decent background for a chemical engineering MS.
