BA in Hospitality Human Resource Management
Course Overview
The BA in Hospitality Human Resource Management is a full honours-level undergraduate degree in hospitality human resource management, 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 HR grounding for hospitality graduates 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 able to run an HR conversation on a hotel floor, defend a workforce plan to a general manager and progress towards HR business-partner responsibility. 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.
