Course Overview

The MSc in Resort Management gives you a structured route into 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 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as British Hospitality Association (UKHospitality), Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) and Institute of Hospitality (IoH), giving you research-informed executive practice, dissertation work and board-level thinking for senior luxury hospitality leadership. The MSc in Resort Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning resort.

Alongside the taught modules, you will study a structured curriculum that connects brand standards to housekeeping and food and beverage inside a five-star hotel setting, so when you finish the course, you will be ready to operate at senior-manager and director-level, lead strategic projects, publish or present research and step into executive luxury hospitality careers. The taught content on the MSc in Resort Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working hotel operations settings.

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 MSc in Resort Management responds to that demand by keeping every module close to real operational settings. Applied exercises across the MSc in Resort Management draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international hotel operations businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.
