Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English: ISEII at Distinction with Distinction in all sub-tests
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Civil engineers design and build major structures and provide the skills and expertise to design, build and maintain the country’s infrastructure.
This programme’s strengths lie in its synthesis of scientific enquiry, engineering design and creative problem solving to tackle the challenging and complex real-life problems encountered by professional civil engineers.

Year 1
ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS 1
ENGINEERING SKILLS 1
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 1
MATERIALS 1
CIVIL ENGINEERING 1
DYNAMICS 1
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 1
STATICS 1
THERMODYNAMICS 1
In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in civil engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by individual and group project work and laboratory work. This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, also makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.
Year 2
SOIL MECHANICS 2
STRUCTURAL DESIGN 2
STRUCTURAL DESIGN PROJECT 2
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES 2
CIVIL ENGINEERING SKILLS 2
GEOLOGY AND SURVEYING FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS 2
MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES 2A
MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES 2B
FLUID MECHANICS 2
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 2
You will take a range of courses within structural engineering, water and environmental engineering, transportation, geotechnical engineering and construction management. Courses cover both fundamental principles and practical applications. We place considerable emphasis on practical work, in the form of laboratory classes, physical and computational modelling exercises, project work, surveying fieldwork, design projects and site visits.
Year 3
STRUCTURAL DESIGN 3
STRUCTURAL MECHANICS 3
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING 3
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS 3
STRUCTURAL DESIGN PROJECT 3
CIVIL DESIGN PROJECTS 3
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS ENGINEERING 3
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 3
ENGINEERING HYDRAULICS 3
HIGHWAY ENGINEERING 3
In year 3 you will take part in a design project with students of architecture and quantity surveying to solve real-life design problems, just as you would do in professional life.
Year 4 and 5
CIVIL DESIGN PROJECT 4
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT 4
In fourth year, MEng students study a greater range of advanced analytical topics than BEng students. Year 5 of the MEng programme contains a mix of advanced courses and major design project work, some involving practising engineers, which are intended to develop professional-level skills.
Pre-Sessional English Course
This depends on your starting level. For students aiming for the standard requirement of IELTS 6.5 and starting a degree programme in September we recommend
Foundation Certificate for Business and Social Sciences
For entry to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Glasgow. Your course length is determined mainly by your English language level (UKVI IELTS score or accepted equivalent).
All students take a set of common or similar modules to gain key skills for university. If your course is longer than 2 terms, you’ll take extra modules focusing on one or more of English language, academic skills and basic subject knowledge.
