BA in Hotel Technology Systems
Course Overview
The BA in Hotel Technology Systems is a 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) LSHRM route at Bachelor (BA / BSc) standard that critiques students in hotel technology systems for hotel and resort work. Written in London and aligned with UK expectations set by the TechUK, Institute of Hospitality and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, the programme treats the hotel or resort as a live commercial environment where digital hospitality, hotel technology, data and guest-facing systems must work together to deliver a consistent guest outcome. Students on the BA in Hotel Technology Systems work through structured modules that reflect the daily rhythm of a modern hotel property, and complete short applied tasks that link classroom learning to the working shape of a hospitality business in London and beyond.
By graduation you will be ready to hold graduate-level manager, department-head or trainee-general-manager positions across the UK and international hospitality sector. You will study through placement, dissertation and applied honours projects, and produce evidence of study that can be shown to UK employers across hotel groups, technology vendors, revenue-management platforms and integrated hospitality businesses. The BA in Hotel Technology Systems also builds the soft-skill scaffolding that employers ask for, including structured written communication, guest-facing conduct, and a professional understanding of property management systems, CRM platforms, distribution engines and hospitality data tools as they are used across the sector. LSHRM cohorts on the BA in Hotel Technology Systems typically include a mix of UK-based applicants, international students and working practitioners moving between roles, and the programme is planned so that classroom discussion, applied assessments and career preparation all reflect that broader industry context throughout the 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma).
