Can I pursue engineering without taking physics in high school?

Hi, i'm in my final year of high school in the UK and the subjects i have taken for chemical engineering was Advanced Higher/ A-level Maths chemistry & biology. i also took Nat 5/ GCSE level physics (i have never done physics). Will it be an issue for me if i do chemical engineering with little physics knowledge? or will my application not even be accepted? will they at least go over stuff at university?

    I would call the specific University department / course you are interested in to discuss with them directly if it's not clear how your qualification fit. I know most university application processes are more centralised but in my previous department (I studied product design engineering at DMEM at Strathclyde ) they had courses within the department that did not need physics then once in you might be able to switch after 1st year or do extra credits on some subjects? I found first year went over a lot of stuff covered in school and there is lots of support if needed. Good luck
