Is the physics in an Engineering degree much harder than A Level physics?

I want to become an engineer but I dont like physics and struggled with it at A Level. I’m considering changing my degree to a maths degree as I’m scared the physics in an engineering degree will be much too hard, if anyone is studying or has studied engineering please could you tell me how much harder the physics gets compared to A level.

The material will be quite a bit more challenging than A-level physics. However, not being the strongest at physics at this stage does not necessarily preclude you from being able to study engineering. Is physics something you could improve at if you worked on it more, or got some help, or are you basically allergic to physics type problems?

The reason I am worried is that although my maths is very strong (I did further maths at A level) I still struggled immensely with the maths questions in physics due to the wording of the questions. But isn't this just the application of maths, which is heavily used in engineering? Additionally, when revising for my A levels I spent the majority of my time revising physics and got extra help from teachers etc, yet I still found it extremely hard, harder than further maths, so I'm not entirely sure I will be able to improve, and maybe it is that I am allergic 😂

I'm doing A Levels at the moment, this is how I feel, I'm not doing further maths, but A level maths is much easier for me even in the mechanics part of A level maths I find easy, yet the questions in physics are just so cryptic and vague, I even struggle with the mechanics side of A level physics due to the questions, I completely understand the topics and theory, yet the questions always seem to either be vague or content I didn't realise I needed to know, its frustrating because the maths isn't even hard for A level physics, yet the questions are so unsatisfying and every time I go to do a question I feel like I'm stabbing around in the dark, to be fair to myself I had three E's in November (year 13) due to never listening in all my subjects and not turning up, but managed to turn the E in maths to an A in a few months with relative ease, but physics is such a drag and the vagueness is really of putting to me, even though I completely understand the theory for most of it the questions are just so strange. I also want to do engineering, I heard it is mostly maths, which comforts me but I hope the physics questions in mechanical engineering are not as as vague as the ones in physics a level ( I Do AQA) some of their questions are just unreadable and worded so strangely, physics a level is such a pain.

It’s been over a decade since i undertook A-levels but hopefully my advice will be useful.
The maths & physics at university will look a lot more like A-level pure maths & further maths, but it will all be about analytically describing different phenomena (such as aerodynamics, heat transfer, electrical power flow, stress in a beam...)
My experience of A-level science is that they required a lot of baseline memorisation in order to get to some fairly basic maths (largely GCSE standard). Whereas A-level maths you can survive much more on conceptual understanding without the need for wrote learning memorisation.
In a degree you’ll largely focus on the science which looks like pure maths however there is some core understanding you’ll need to build, for example you’ll need to be able to take the theory & map it onto a problem.

Thanks for a reply, I do understand physics and the concepts quite well, I think my issue was not practicing questions for physics and thinking I can just get away with just learning the content, is engineering mostly math?

Yes engineering degrees are essentially the application of physics, which itself is basically applied maths (for engineering purposes). For a taste of what you might encounter you could search YouTube (for example) for worked examples, tutorials, past paper exam questions, etc.
