Advanced Diploma in Rooms Division Management
Course Overview
The Advanced Diploma in Rooms Division Management is a Advanced Diploma (UK Level 5-equivalent) programme at LSHRM running 12 to 15 months. It is designed for candidates who want to specialise in rooms division management across front office and housekeeping within modern hotel and resort businesses. The programme is aligned with UK bodies including Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), giving students industry-referenced grounding from the first module.
By the end of the Advanced Diploma in Rooms Division Management, students step into work as a senior operator ready for cross-department leadership. They can apply brand-standard governance in daily practice, use PMS reporting suites confidently, and coordinate with wider hotel departments on front-office and housekeeping integration.
Across the Advanced Diploma in Rooms Division Management, students also examine how rooms division management across front office and housekeeping interacts with wider hotel disciplines, including brand standards, guest experience and financial performance. Discussion sessions reference LSHRM tutors' careers in London hotel groups and international resort operators, and applied exercises draw on anonymised hotel case data. This grounding gives students confidence to translate learning into their own operating context, whether that is an independent hotel, a branded property or a resort setting. Assessment tasks reward evidence of applied thinking rather than rote knowledge, and tutors return detailed written feedback on each submission.
