Can you do physics at uni without a level physics?
A-level: grades CCC including Physics and Mathematics. We can accept students without A-Levels in Maths and Physics, however, we require at least a GCSE in Maths at grade C and a GCSE in Science at C. Offers will then depend on the courses taken.

Not only is physics a must-have subject, but maths is essential too. A small number of courses will accept just one of these, but study both to keep all your options open.
Is a foundation year equivalent to A levels?
Foundation courses in the UK are the equivalent of A-level standard, meaning your results in each subject should be seen as the same as an A-level grade by British universities.

Is it worth doing a level physics without Maths?
The answer is that in theory you can, but it really is not a good idea. Most schools and colleges will insist that you do the two together, because you need Maths with Mechanics skills to support your Physics.
