MSc in Luxury Resort Management


Course Overview

The MSc in Luxury Resort Management is a postgraduate 12 to 18 months route in hotel operations & front office. LSHRM has designed the MSc in Luxury Resort Management to sit against benchmarks from Master Innholders, Institute of Hospitality and UKHospitality, 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 luxury resort management. 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 Luxury Resort Management you will advance into executive, corporate and consultancy hospitality roles with a research-informed dissertation portfolio. Graduates leave with a portfolio of assessed work, a documented reference to Master Innholders-aligned practice and a clear articulation route into senior executive hospitality practice. The MSc in Luxury Resort Management is designed so that every core assessment produces evidence you can take directly into an interview, a workplace review or an application to a UK hotel group, and the tutoring team stays involved through post-course reference and portfolio guidance.
