Aerospace Engineering or Architecture?

ive been set on architecture for who knows how long but ive realised it doesnt involve much physics or maths in the course and the career. aerospace engineering sounds interesting and has more physics/maths in it, but i dont know whether or not to change my plan for uni just based on this as i have a passion for architecture. also does anyone know which unis are the best for aerospace engineering degrees in the north?

What are you passionate for, did you consider something like civil engineering, or structural engineering. These subjects are also using physics & maths but more related to architecture applications.

i am passionate about architecture, but also equally passionate about physics. also the reason i havent considered civil/structural engineering is because i think it looks kinda boring😅
i think im going to choose some sort of engineering to be honest, i just think architecture is more pain than its worth (7 years of uni, pay isnt as high as i would like, very competitive)

Yes architecture is a slog, the other degree to be aware of which is more arty like architecture but engineering related is product design & you do get some mix degrees called design engineering or engineering & design
