BA in Interdisciplinary Hospitality Studies
Course Overview
The BA in Interdisciplinary Hospitality Studies at LSCAHM is a three-year UK Level 6 honours degree with part-time and accelerated routes. The programme is designed for students who want to work across the hospitality economy — hotels, restaurants, events, tourism and food business — rather than commit exclusively to one department. It combines core modules from every LSCAHM department into a single integrated qualification, aligned with Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and HOSPA guidance.
By graduation, students have completed a year-two placement inside a UK hospitality operation and a final-year capstone that bridges at least two hospitality disciplines, launching into integrator, group operations and multi-department careers.
