BA in Hospitality Quality Management
Course Overview
The BA in Hospitality Quality Management is a full honours LSILHHM degree running 36 months, with top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma. Aligned with Institute of Hospitality and Chartered Management Institute frameworks, the degree builds strategic quality-assurance leadership across hotel groups, boutique properties and resort operators.
By graduation, students are graduate-ready quality practitioners equipped with placement experience, cross-property audit exposure and industry-referenced knowledge of brand-standard, mystery-guest and continuous-improvement programmes.
Bachelor students spend structured placement blocks inside partner hotel groups and boutique portfolios, building a portfolio of quality-programme case work across cluster audits, mystery-guest reviews and continuous-improvement projects. Sessions include board-level briefing practice on brand-standard risk and dissertation coaching from research-active faculty.
Bachelor students combine seminar learning with placement blocks at UK and international hotel groups, building a portfolio of case work on brand-standard risk and quality-programme design that hospitality groups actively hire for at graduate level.
The LSILHHM syllabus for hospitality quality management is refreshed regularly with input from hotel groups and consultancies and shaped around the specific expectations of graduate quality candidates. Every module ties back to the brand-standard risk portfolio building that defines strong practice in this discipline.
