I’m definitely really interested in veterinary medicine but I was just wondering if Maths/ physics Alevel is mandatory.

Biology and chemistry are required, your third A Level can be anything you want and does not have to be science-related except for Cambridge, and the Scottish unis (Glasgow and Edinburgh) 'prefer' it but do not require it. Obviously you have to get the correct grades, generally between A*AA-AAB (B being your third subject), and GCSEs are important too when applying, so check the individual vet med uni requirement pages. It is only important to meet the minimum grades - exceeding them will not make you more competitive, i.e. when it comes to applying having higher than minimum will not put you above someone who has just the minimum.
