MSc in Hotel Property Management — Master at London School of Hotel and Resort Management

MSc in Hotel Property Management


Course Overview

The MSc in Hotel Property Management is an LSHRM Master (MSc / MA) programme running across a 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route study window and delivered from our London base as part of the Harold International College of London portfolio. Sitting inside the Housekeeping & Property Management department, the programme focuses on the executive-level property-management discipline that connects real-estate, facilities and hospitality operations at Master's level. The syllabus is UK-referenced, written for applicants who intend to work in real hotels, resorts and integrated hospitality businesses, and shaped alongside bodies such as the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) so that every module maps to how the UK sector actually operates.

By graduation you will be able to graduate ready for a senior property, asset or operations role at a UK-based or international operator, with a dissertation and executive-practice profile. The programme is structured across on-campus, online and distance-learning delivery, uses live tutor-led sessions supported by recorded material, and articulates cleanly into the next LSHRM level so you can plan your full progression from day one. Every assessment is built around applied hospitality practice rather than abstract theory, meaning your portfolio at the end of the MSc in Hotel Property Management is directly relevant to interview and role conversations across London hotel groups, boutique brands and international resort operators.
