Course Overview

The MSc in Hotel Maintenance and Operations Leadership is a 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route LSHRM route at Master (MSc / MA) standard that leads students in hotel maintenance and operations leadership for hotel and resort work. Written in London and aligned with UK expectations set by the Chartered Institute of Building, UKHospitality and Facilities Management Association, the programme treats the hotel or resort as a live commercial environment where housekeeping, linen, maintenance and hotel property management must work together to deliver a consistent guest outcome. Students on the MSc in Hotel Maintenance and Operations Leadership 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 lead at corporate, executive or board-adjacent level across international hotel groups, investment firms and hospitality consultancies. You will study through a dissertation or capstone project with research-informed executive practice, and produce evidence of study that can be shown to UK employers across luxury hotel groups, London serviced apartments, resort properties and estate operators. The MSc in Hotel Maintenance and Operations Leadership also builds the soft-skill scaffolding that employers ask for, including structured written communication, guest-facing conduct, and a professional understanding of housekeeping management platforms, work-order software and inspection tools as they are used across the sector. LSHRM cohorts on the MSc in Hotel Maintenance and Operations Leadership 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 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route.
