MSc in Property and Asset Management in Hospitality

Course Overview

LSHRM's MSc in Property and Asset Management in Hospitality is a Master (MSc / MA) qualification of 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route. It equips students with the knowledge, vocabulary and practice tools that underpin property and asset management within hospitality at postgraduate level in hotel and resort settings, referencing UK bodies such as Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) throughout.

Graduation from the MSc in Property and Asset Management in Hospitality marks a shift into working life as a executive-ready postgraduate with dissertation-level expertise, with practical fluency across owner reporting and capital planning, and hands-on familiarity with owner reporting suites, valuation methodologies and capital planning models.

Across the MSc in Property and Asset Management in Hospitality, students also examine how property and asset 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.
