Hospitality and Tourism access course
Hello. I am interested in doing an undergraduate degree in Hospitality and Tourism, but I don’t have A levels. Is there an access course I can do?

To my knowledge, a degree in hospitality and tourism doesn't require you to have specific subjects, so long you have a Level 3 qualification with adequate grades. You should check the entry requirements for the degree just to be sure.
See the following as examples:
https://www.essex.ac.uk/courses/ug01327/2/ba-hospitality-management (usually a favoured degree in hospitality in the UK, but there is no mention of the accepted qualifications since it's in clearing at the moment)

As far as I know, there is only 1 Access course in hospitality and tourism, and that's offline at Barnsley College. See the following:
https://www.accesstohe.ac.uk/course-search
https://www.accesstohe.ac.uk/course-search/Course?QAACourseCode=QAA47600323&searchCurrentPage=1&searchCourseName=hospitality&searchLocation=&searchDistance=TenMiles&searchDistanceLearning=False&searchClickedLinkPosition=
If you cannot go to Barnsley from where you are, then you would have to pick another subject. However, an Access in any other subject is fine so long you have the grades.
Having said that:
•
You don't need a degree in hospitality and tourism to get into hospitality and tourism
•
Getting a degree in hospitality and tourism doesn't help you get further in the field than say someone starting from the bottom up
If I want to get a qualification in hospitality or tourism, I would probably go for the world renowned schools and universities e.g.
•
Le Cordon Bleu in London (https://www.cordonbleu.edu/london/programmes/en)
•
A university in Switzerland offering hospitality courses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hospitality_management_schools_in_Switzerland)
•
Something world renowned according to some index e.g.
https://hospitalitymanagementdegrees.net/rankings/the-most-prestigious-hospitality-management-departments-in-the-world/
https://ceoworld.biz/2023/03/17/best-hospitality-and-hotel-management-schools-in-the-world-for-2023/
