Higher Diploma in Hotel Revenue Management
Course Overview
The Higher Diploma in Hotel Revenue Management is a 15 to 18 months LSHRM route at Higher Diploma (UK Level 5+ articulation) standard that integrates students in hotel revenue management for hotel and resort work. Written in London and aligned with UK expectations set by the Institute of Hospitality, Tourism Society and Association of British Travel Agents, the programme treats the hotel or resort as a live commercial environment where resort operations, hospitality business, sales, marketing and revenue functions must work together to deliver a consistent guest outcome. Students on the Higher Diploma in Hotel Revenue Management 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 run a full hotel department, hold cross-functional responsibility and prepare for hotel manager, general manager or head-of-department roles. You will study through portfolio-based industry-facing projects, and produce evidence of study that can be shown to UK employers across international resort operators, London hotel groups, franchise operators and boutique brands. The Higher Diploma in Hotel Revenue Management also builds the soft-skill scaffolding that employers ask for, including structured written communication, guest-facing conduct, and a professional understanding of revenue-management platforms, brand systems and distribution channels as they are used across the sector. LSHRM cohorts on the Higher Diploma in Hotel Revenue Management 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 15 to 18 months.
