Your application, especially your personal statement, should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements. You are more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a strong interest in structural engineering through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, or work experience.
 

You will need a strong performance in Mathematics as part of your entry qualifications. Many applicants also study Physics but you do not need to have done so to study this degree and a challenging arts or humanities subject may be as useful in preparing you for the course.
