BA in Resort Management
Course Overview
The BA in Resort Management consolidates your skill set across resort 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 Institute of Customer Service (ICS), Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), giving you a full honours-level view of hospitality strategy, revenue, brand and global operations with placement experience. LSILHHM has built the BA in Resort Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern five-star hotel operation.
Alongside the taught modules, you will study a structured curriculum that connects guest experience to front office and food and beverage inside a four-star property 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. The taught content on the BA in Resort Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working hotel operations settings.
Across the hotel operations sector, the balance between guest experience, brand consistency and commercial performance defines who progresses and who does not. The BA in Resort Management builds all three dimensions into its assessment pattern. The BA in Resort Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning five-star hotel.
