Course Overview

The BA in International Resort Management is an LSHRM Bachelor (BA / BSc) programme running across a 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) study window and delivered from our London base as part of the Harold International College of London portfolio. Sitting inside the Hotel Operations & Front Office department, the programme focuses on the multi-outlet, multi-market resort-management discipline that runs integrated resort businesses across international markets. The syllabus is UK-referenced, written for applicants who intend to work in real hotels, resorts and integrated hospitality businesses, and shaped alongside bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the UKHospitality so that every module maps to how the UK sector actually operates.

By graduation you will be able to graduate ready for a graduate resort operations or business role at a UK-based or international resort operator, with placement experience and a full research project. The programme is structured across on-campus, online and distance-learning delivery, uses live tutor-led sessions supported by recorded material, and articulates cleanly into the next LSHRM level so you can plan your full progression from day one. Every assessment is built around applied hospitality practice rather than abstract theory, meaning your portfolio at the end of the BA in International Resort Management is directly relevant to interview and role conversations across London hotel groups, boutique brands and international resort operators.
