Mechanical Engineering quick advice

Hey guys.

I'm a bit worried and in search for some support/advice.

I've been accepted for Mechanical Engineering at university. I've got A-level Maths, Chemistry and Economics.

I don't have physics evidently, will that be an issue for me to do mechanical engineering? Will I be behind everyone else in class? Will I struggle if I don't have physics?

I'm worried, and wanna hear your opinions.

Cheers!
Sort of. The mechanics in physics will help a lot with mech eng , so that could bring you behind slightly, unless you did mechanics modules in maths? Did you do m1-3?

During the maths A-level, we only did M1.They don't have Physics as their requirements. Their requirements are Maths + Chemistry/Physics. I obviously met the requirements.

Yeh but mech eng requires a fair bit of mechanics, hence the title. If I were you, while you do meet the requirements and have an offer (congrats) I'd still have a look into m2 and m3 because they'll be extremely useful
