BA in Eco Hospitality Systems
Course Overview
The BA in Eco Hospitality Systems is a Bachelor (BA / BSc) programme at LSHRM running 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma). It is designed for candidates who want to specialise in eco-hospitality systems across hotel and resort operations within modern hotel and resort businesses. The programme is aligned with UK bodies including Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), giving students industry-referenced grounding from the first module.
By the end of the BA in Eco Hospitality Systems, students step into work as a graduate-ready hospitality professional with placement experience. They can apply net-zero pathways in daily practice, use energy management systems confidently, and coordinate with wider hotel departments on sustainable design retrofit.
Across the BA in Eco Hospitality Systems, students also examine how eco-hospitality systems across hotel and resort operations 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.
