Course Overview

The MSc in Hospitality Data Strategy is a postgraduate 12 to 18 months route in digital hospitality & technology. LSHRM has designed the MSc in Hospitality Data Strategy to sit against benchmarks from Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), UKHospitality and Institute of Data and Marketing (IDM), so applicants finish with an executive UK hospitality dissertation portfolio 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 data strategy. 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 MSc in Hospitality Data Strategy you will advance into executive, corporate and consultancy hospitality roles with a research-informed dissertation portfolio. Assessment across the MSc in Hospitality Data Strategy is a mix of written work, applied case tasks and structured discussion, and graduates progress into senior executive hospitality practice with a coherent record of study behind them. The programme is deliberately shaped to bridge from classroom to floor, so nothing you cover is theoretical without a workplace anchor, and the final review point produces a clear statement of your readiness for the next tier of hospitality practice.
