Most universities don’t require specific subjects to be taken. You could have chosen the 3 easiest subjects like business and phschology (studying art may appeal some universities) and still be able to do architecture at university. Is there any specific universities you want to go?

Congrats on finishing your GCSEs! Math, graphic communications, product design, and film studies are great A-level choices for architecture at uni. Physics isn't always required, but it can be helpful. Check uni requirements, but don't stress if you haven't taken it. Focus on doing well overall and showcasing your passion through your extracurriculars. Good luck with your A-levels and future in architecture!

ive only looked at bath so far, but ive been searching around no where has really specified if you need certain subjects or not, so thank you so much
I think it mostly matters on your personal statement and how enthusiastic you are. I’ve heard they are removing personal statements so I’m not sure how the application process would be. Just be sure to show universities that your passionate and really want to study architecture. Good luck going forward

Unis only require three A levels and you don't get bonus points for doing extra, so I'd recommend you drop one of your subjects. The majority of architecture courses don't have specific subject requirements. I've compiled a table of A level requirements for all RIBA validated architecture courses in the UK on the following thread:

Not always, but it may help

Work experience isn't expected for architecture and doing extra maths isn't necessary. An architecture degree is design based so put time into developing your drawing skills and preparing your portfolio (needed by most unis as part of the application process). You could also read the odd book from Cambridge's suggested reading list:

Heya!
I would recommend looking up some entry requirements and seeing what they need
You can use uniguide for it as well. If there is nothing specific, you are OK with the alvls you chose!I hope this helps!
