Subject requirements
You will need A levels/IB Higher Levels (or the equivalent) in:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Further Mathematics to AS or A Level if your school offers it
If you’re studying IB Higher Level Mathematics, we ask for Analysis and Approaches for this course.
A Level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged. If unavailable or you’ve recognised its desirability too late, we’d advise you to do as much additional pure maths and mechanics as possible, e.g. by studying advanced material or Further Mathematics AS Level. A Level candidates without Further Mathematics have a lower success rate than candidates with Further Mathematics to at least AS Level.
We will normally ask for an A* in Further Maths (or an A* in Maths if Further Maths is not being taken) and an A* in Physics.
Why Trinity Hall?
As an Engineering student at Trinity Hall you’ll benefit from exceptional academic support and a strong research culture. Each year of the course has its own Director of Studies, all of whom are active Fellows, meaning you are taught and supervised by experts in the field.
Many supervisions are delivered within College, and Fellows contribute directly to teaching across the University while conducting their own cutting-edge research in areas from aerodynamics and structural mechancis to information processing.
You’ll also have opportunities to explore ideas through the College’s wider networks such as the Trinity Hall Entrepreneurs Network.
