MSc in Facility Management in Hospitality
Course Overview
The MSc in Facility Management in Hospitality is a Master (MSc / MA) programme at LSHRM running 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route. It is designed for candidates who want to specialise in facility management within hospitality at postgraduate level within modern hotel and resort businesses. The programme is aligned with UK bodies including Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), giving students industry-referenced grounding from the first module.
By the end of the MSc in Facility Management in Hospitality, students step into work as a executive-ready postgraduate with dissertation-level expertise. They can apply FM performance in daily practice, use life-cycle costing models confidently, and coordinate with wider hotel departments on capital planning.
Across the MSc in Facility Management in Hospitality, students also examine how facility management within hospitality at postgraduate level 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.
