Try reading what you wrote again. Half of it doesnt make sense at all. Try breaking it down into short sentences and then use a full stop. If you write like that and it is unreadable, then people wont know what you are talking about and you will fail to get the correct advice.

The way to solve this is to do some research about travel and tourism. You can look at degree courses in the subject, examine what the course covers and then check the entrance requirements for what you need. I would have thought subjects like Geography, Business, Economics, History, Maths or languages would be relevant. You will need to check whether Photography media and Psychology is acceptable.

Each uni decides its own requirements. Your combination is likely to have 1 preferred subject and 2 non preferred. I will check a few courses in a moment, but it is up to you to check your choices meet enough uni requirements.


These are unis that do Travel and Tourism.
