BA in Hospitality Infrastructure Management

Course Overview

The BA in Hospitality Infrastructure Management is a three-year honours degree delivered by LSHRM. It develops the disciplines needed to run the physical estate of a hospitality business, covering building services, capital works, facilities management and lifecycle planning. The programme references IWFM, FMA, CIOB, RICS and Institute of Hospitality frameworks.

By graduation you will have completed a placement inside a hotel engineering or facilities team and defended a capstone project on lifecycle planning, capital works or infrastructure sustainability.

The three-year syllabus walks you through the disciplines of hospitality infrastructure, from building services and planned maintenance to lifecycle planning and capital works oversight. Year three centres on a defended capstone project, with an integrated placement year giving hands-on exposure to a hotel engineering or facilities function.

Modules across the Hospitality Infrastructure Management programme are delivered in short weekly units with practical activities anchored to real hotel workflows, and every intake sits within a wider LSHRM cohort that combines learners from London, the UK regions and international markets. Tutor contact hours are protected across each week, with dedicated office-hour slots and asynchronous forum support so that Hospitality Infrastructure Management learners never lose momentum between modules.

On completion, Hospitality Infrastructure Management learners can progress into the LSHRM MSc, moving from full honours undergraduate standard into executive postgraduate territory without repeating material. Every Hospitality Infrastructure Management student is also supported by the LSHRM alumni network, which gathers hospitality professionals from London hotel groups, resort operators and hospitality technology firms across the UK and further afield.
