Will the Bachelor in Global Hotel Management (BGHM010) get me into a chain hotel management programme?

It is a relevant qualification for those programmes, though chains run their own selection processes. A recognised bachelor's combined with hospitality experience and good interview performance is the standard route.

How is BGHM010 different from an international hotel management diploma?

A diploma is shorter and more operational. The Bachelor in Global Hotel Management (BGHM010) is a full degree with broader strategic and managerial content — better suited to a long-term management trajectory.

Does the Bachelor in Global Hotel Management (BGHM010) cover revenue management basics?

Yes — basic revenue management concepts such as ADR and occupancy are part of any credible global hotel management degree at this level.

Can I move from BGHM010 to a master's degree?

Yes. A recognised bachelor's gives you the entry route into postgraduate study in hospitality, tourism or related management fields, either at LSTH or elsewhere.

Is the Bachelor in Global Hotel Management (BGHM010) available online?

Yes. Distance and online study options are offered alongside the on-campus route in London.

What about visa rules for international students?
