Course Overview

The BA in Global Hospitality Studies is a full honours-level undergraduate degree in global hospitality studies, delivered over 36 months with top-up routes available for Higher Diploma holders. It combines the strategic, commercial and human disciplines of a full honours-level integrated grounding in global hospitality with a live industry placement and dissertation project. Cohorts include A-Level and IB leavers, Higher Diploma holders topping up and international applicants converging their overseas qualifications to a UK framework.

You will graduate with a cross-sector view of global hospitality, an international placement on your CV and a research project ready to defend to international employers. The Bachelor is written to prepare you for the graduate-programme conversations run by major UK and international hospitality employers, so every module produces evidence you can put in front of a recruiter.
