Course Overview

The BA in Hotel Department Management gives you a structured route into hotel department management inside a hotel operations setting, delivered by the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management (LSILHHM), a division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs for approximately 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as British Hospitality Association (UKHospitality), Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and Institute of Customer Service (ICS), giving you a full honours-level view of hospitality strategy, revenue, brand and global operations with placement experience. LSILHHM has built the BA in Hotel Department Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern hotel operation.

Throughout your studies, you will study a structured curriculum that connects brand standards to housekeeping and food and beverage inside a city hotel setting, so when you finish the course, you will be ready to take a graduate-manager remit inside an international hospitality group, contribute to commercial reviews and progress on a fast-track leadership pathway. Applied exercises across the BA in Hotel Department Management draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international hotel operations businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.

The hotel operations sector continues to expand across the UK and internationally, and employers consistently ask for graduates who understand both the service side of the business and the commercial framework that sits behind it. The BA in Hotel Department Management responds to that demand by keeping every module close to real operational settings. The BA in Hotel Department Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning hotel.
