The grades are less important than whether you can do the math. It may take you longer to become proficient, but if you work at it, you probably can. Writing proper English is also helpful. And if 'Uni' means university, it also depends on what university and what you want to do.

There is approximately one-third overlap between the maths and physics A level courses. How are you finding A level physics? Have you done the equations of motion yet? They are repeated in A level Maths. If you find them easy then you should try for the maths A level, there should be one which is a combination of Pure and Applied which will be easier for you than straight Pure or straight Applied.

You can enter a Mechanical Engineering degree which involves alot of Physics throughout the course, however alot of Mathematics too.
You can enter via you obtaining a BTEC National Diploma in Engineering... the only other route is doing A-level Physics I'm affraid.
In the Diploma you study A-Level standard Maths and Physics... and alot more branched off Engineering Units.
However I would have to tell you it is adviseable you are good at A-Level standard Physics and Maths otherwise you'd struggle. Especially as the years progress the Physics gets more complex.

Edinburgh uni does a maths course for people with inadequate maths.
By why don't you have an A-level in maths? If you find A-level maths too hard you will never manage a degree in physics.
My advice: get A-level maths first, then go to uni.

I did a physics/geology course at Kingston uni without having done A-level maths. We had to take extra maths courses which they provided.
I'm not entirely sure if this is still possible but give it a go.
You'll probably have to try a 'new' uni (ie. old poly).

I'm very sorry but most physics courses do need at least a highschool level of math but dont give up school is cool get in different courses good luck. ; )

I would guess non, as the ability to understand maths is pretty much required during all the physics courses. Well done on picking a "real" course and not media studies or sports science

Most if Not ALL physics is using maths. for instance the Equation of speed. get the a level maths. maths will help you in getting jobs :)

If ou check with UCAS Physics courses, from there check the universities themselves. A brief search from google comes up with:
BSc Physics Studies at Lanacster (no maths): http://www.lancs.ac.uk/depts/spc/ugAdmissions/Cphystud.htm

"i understand to get into good ones i prefer a maths GCSE" then you definately'll superb bypass get a maths GCSE. A D isn't ok. "will i'm getting right into a terrific college without one?" not even a mediocre college. Sorry. I advise you grit your tooth and positioned some attempt in. in case you will get an A in physics you are able to bypass maths.
