Could I enter a Chemical Engineering degree?

Hi,
I've completed 3 A-Levels so far, and currently completing one more.
I've done Biology (A*), Chemistry (A*), and Psychology (A).
I'm completing Maths right now, and received my AS results yesterday, which was thankfully an A.
I just want to know whether I could enter a chemical engineering degree, or if they require Physics too.
For some reason TSR ate my response, but in short:

Not all chemical engineering degrees require A-level Physics; you need to check individual course requirements. Many will accept either chemistry OR physics, or just require chemistry, in addition to maths in virtually all cases being required.

Note though that the course itself will be substantially maths and physics based - there is very little chemistry in a chemical engineering degree. So if your primary interest is chemistry, it may not be the right fit for you.

Why not also consider A-Level Further Maths? 🙂

they do not require physics in most of the time. Im applying chemeng as well and i dont do physics. as long as you have chem and maths then it would be fine
