Course Overview

The MSc in Airport Hospitality Management is a 12 to 18-month postgraduate Master's in airport hospitality management at postgraduate level, designed for first-degree graduates, senior practitioners and career-progression candidates. It is research-informed executive practice built around executive practice for the hospitality layer of airport operations, including a dissertation project and executive-communication training. Cohorts include hospitality graduates targeting fast-track roles, senior practitioners upgrading their qualification and career changers arriving from consulting, corporate finance or public policy.

You will graduate with an executive-level view of airport hospitality, a research project on your CV and the vocabulary an airport commercial board expects. The Master's is deliberately calibrated for board-level conversations, so every module is written to build the vocabulary, evidence base and posture executive employers expect.
