BA in Resort Facilities Management

Course Overview

Delivered over 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma), the BA in Resort Facilities Management is an LSHRM route into resort facilities management across estate and technical services at Bachelor (BA / BSc) level. It sits within the LSHRM Housekeeping & Property Management portfolio and is written by hospitality practitioners who have led equivalent work in London hotels, cluster properties and international resort operators. Alignment with Institute of Hospitality and UKHospitality keeps the material credible for UK employers.

By programme close, the BA in Resort Facilities Management produces a graduate-ready hospitality professional with placement experience able to lead conversations on utilities and sustainability and life safety, deploy planned preventive maintenance schedules and computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) operationally, and interpret planned preventive maintenance for hotel leadership.

Across the BA in Resort Facilities Management, students also examine how resort facilities management across estate and technical services 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.
