Last minute university course change

Are you able to find uni choices where physics is not required? These may be lower ranked options or courses with integrated foundation years.
If you cannot find uni choices which suit you without a level physics then you will need to sit a level physics and apply next year instead. Obviously this delays your time starting uni but you could use the time to gain work experience and basically just make sure that you are making the right decision for your life.
For supercurriculars, realistically you just need to read a couple of books, listening to a podcast, do an online course and/or watch some documentaries and webinars. Provided you have genuine interest in the field of civil engineering this should be interesting for you but may take more time than you have before you application due date so again consider what i said about applying next year.

I'd encourage you to spend some more time researching into civil vs mechanical engineering (and other engineering) courses. Look at course content and potential job roles, to see what you'd like.
Otherwise you might pick one, but realize later you'd actually wish you chose the other.
Can't speak much on civil, but mechanical engineering is very broad and you can do a lot with it. If you had a Beng in Mechanical, you could later specialize and do a Masters in Structural, for example.
You could also have a look at some General Engineering course.

Thanks for the response! Honestly taking another gap year is not an option. I finished my a levels in 2024 so I have basically two gap years. I did some looking and I do thankfully meet subject and grade requirements suprisingly A level physics is not a must in a lot of the civil and mechanical engineering courses I've looked at. So I only really need to strengthen my application.

​Hi everyone, hope you're having a good week!
​I have a major course update. After a lot of reflection, I’m dropping the Pharmacy/Healthcare route. I’ve looked back on what I enjoyed in my A levels and realized my true interest—and where I get the best results—is in pure Maths and Mechanics. I love solving problems. Frankly, I struggle to study subjects I don't love, and the constant memorization in a healthcare course in uni just isn't for me. I like when things just click. While I do enjoy them, I think I liked learning them but not so much putting them into practise (especially practicals). And It is mainly due to family pressure to pick those courses. It would definetly be a disservice to myself if I didn't chose my future for myself.
​I’m now focused on Civil Engineering (or Mechanical). Especially because I really enjoyed the mecahnics section of applied maths. I also love how civil engineering involves basically all man made structures, it can be so versatile, it is engineering so it is mostly mathematical and physics but I also love how it can be creative too.
Unfortunately all my current UCAS prep (extracurriculars, work experience, personal statement) is for Pharmacy as I was going to with Mpharm, and I don't have A-Level Physics (just Maths, Bio, Chem in which I scored ABB respectively, I think my grades also show which subject I loved more). Fortunately I did take physics in my GCSEs and scored a 9 so I'm not completely on zero knowledge.
​I'm starting from zero and need urgent advice on making my UCAS applications for Civil Engineering. Any advice appreciated.
​Thanks for any help!

I will defo look and do more research into at Mechanical engineering but it is hard to make a decision between civil and mechanical especially because I didn't do A level physics. A lot of engineering courses thankfully only require maths and one science either physics or chem and I did A level chem. I did do gcse physics fortunately so I do have the basic knowledge.
Also would you recommend just doing a bachelors with a placement year or a course that includes your masters too? This would help me narrow down what I should a lot.
