UCL Architecture/ Architectural Engineering specific entry requirements

Hi TSR!
I'm considering on applying to UCL Bartlett for Architecture OR Architectural Engineering in 2026 entry.
Now, my current A-Levels are Maths, Further Maths and Product Design alongside an EPQ in Architecture accredited by Pearson.
My dilemma is that (atleast for 2025 entry) it states that they *prefer* Physics A-Level for both courses but I obviously don't do Physics so I was just wondering if they could still consider me for it?
Would it be different if I were to take a Physics AS level in Year 13 or is that just being too much ;( ?
Should I just wait until they release entry requirements for 2026 entry?

UCL's architecture course doesn't prefer physics. The entry requirements sections states 'no specific subjects' and you meet the two preferred A level subjects requirement with maths and FM.

The title of the course - BA, BSc, BArch etc. - doesn't mean much and is decided by each uni. Where is the BEng Arch - is it architecture or an architectural engineering degree?
