Best route for me....?

Hi all,

I'm currently in my final year at 6th Form(Year13) in the UK. Current studies: Biology/Geography/Product Design/Computer science.

I LOVE yacht design with a burning, burning, burning passion! In fact just before the end of term I was recently reprimanded for filling up about 80% of my geography course book with doodles and drawings of yachts/hulls/generic naval components etc!!

However my courses aren't particularly tailored for a University degree in naval architecture or yacht design! I was just wondering what would be the best route for me to take? I mean, I'm fairly competent with designing boats in some aspects and have self taught myself some physics, but its hard to show this to people without A levels in Maths or physics for instance!

what options are available to me? All help is appreciated guys! Thanks.

What do you mean by courses that aren't particulary tailored for a University degree in naval architecture?

When it comes to yacht design without mathematics, your best option is interior design.

As in none of them really intertwine with a degree in Naval Architecture! I.e no maths/Physics

Then,as Leo Lazauskas said, interior design can be an option.
