Course Overview
The MSc in Property Development in Hospitality is a postgraduate 12 to 18 months route covering hospitality property development, feasibility and asset creation. LSHRM has structured the MSc in Property Development in Hospitality around live UK hospitality routines, with material aligned to standards used by Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and reference points from HOSPA. Students work through applied exercises, decision cases and structured written tasks that mirror what happens on a real hotel or resort floor, giving the MSc in Property Development in Hospitality genuine occupational relevance from the first week of study. Tutorial support is scheduled across each teaching block, and formative feedback is embedded through the programme rather than held back for a single end-of-course judgement.
By the end of the MSc in Property Development in Hospitality 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 Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM)-aligned practice and a clear articulation route into senior executive hospitality practice. The MSc in Property Development in Hospitality 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.
