Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Hospitality HR Management is a 15 to 18 months Higher Diploma articulation route in resort & business management. LSHRM has designed the Higher Diploma in Hospitality HR Management to sit against benchmarks from Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Institute of Hospitality and UKHospitality, so applicants finish with a department-head-ready UK hospitality articulation that is directly readable by UK hospitality employers. The programme blends short tutor-led sessions, self-paced material and practical scenario work, and remains focused on the specific vocabulary and workflows tied to hospitality hr management. Every unit sits inside a coherent progression map, so learners understand where each topic feeds into a live hotel, resort or hospitality-business setting.

By the end of the Higher Diploma in Hospitality HR Management you will run a full department, brief senior management on performance and articulate directly into honours-level study. Graduates leave with a portfolio of assessed work, a documented reference to Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)-aligned practice and a clear articulation route into the LSHRM BA/BSc honours top-up. The Higher Diploma in Hospitality HR Management is designed so that every core assessment produces evidence you can take directly into an interview, a workplace review or an application to a UK hotel group, and the tutoring team stays involved through post-course reference and portfolio guidance.
