Course Overview

LSILHHM's MSc in International Hospitality Management is a Master's programme delivered across 12 to 18 months, engineered for executive practice in hotel operations. The programme concentrates on international hotel operations, cross-cultural service, global brand portfolios and the manager's role in multi-country groups, and sits within LSILHHM's hotel operations portfolio in central London. Modules blend theoretical grounding with applied case material drawn from airport hotel operators and apartment-hotel brands, and every submission is written up to a professional standard.

Delivery is available on-campus in central London and online for UK-based, distance-based and international learners, with the same syllabus, tutors and assessment across all routes. Applicants can choose the delivery route that best fits their current work commitments, family life and travel plans, and switch between routes at defined intake points if their circumstances change. LSILHHM tutors provide weekly office hours, and the MSc in International Hospitality Management module handbook signposts referenced reading from bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

By the end of the programme graduates emerge as strategic practitioners capable of taking senior and executive roles, framing board-level questions and leading cross-market decisions at apartment-hotel brands and international hotel chains. The LSILHHM careers team supports graduates into their first role with structured coaching, employer introductions and a warm handover to alumni already working in the sector.
