Is the BHIHM011 more useful than a generic business degree for hotel work?

Yes, in our view. International chains recruit specifically for hospitality knowledge — the Bachelor in Hospitality and International Hotel Management speaks directly to brand standards and rooms-division language that general business degrees don't cover.

Does the Bachelor in Hospitality and International Hotel Management include placement?

Industry exposure is part of the degree's design philosophy; the specific placement arrangements vary by intake and are confirmed at enrolment.

Can I work in chain hotels with the BHIHM011?

Graduates typically apply into chain trainee schemes and operational graduate roles. Outcomes depend on the brand, market and your own track record.

Will the BHIHM011 cover revenue management and RevPAR work?

Yes, revenue concepts are part of the undergraduate framework. The depth is appropriate for an entry-management candidate rather than a specialist revenue analyst.

How long is the Bachelor in Hospitality and International Hotel Management?

It is a three-year undergraduate programme in the standard mode. Some entry routes may shorten the duration if prior qualifications are recognised at enrolment.

Do I need work experience before applying to the BHIHM011?

No. The Bachelor in Hospitality and International Hotel Management welcomes school leavers. Existing experience helps with classroom discussion but is not a precondition.

Bachelor in Hospitality & International Hotel Management (BHIHM011)

Bachelor in Hospitality & International Hotel Management (BHIHM011) at LSTH

International hotel chains hire on a fairly predictable shape of candidate: someone with structured operational exposure across rooms division and F&B, the management vocabulary to fit into a brand standard, and the confidence to be moved across borders. The Bachelor in Hospitality & International Hotel Management (BHIHM011) is built around that profile. It is a three-year undergraduate route into the industry, weighted towards the international chain-hotel world rather than independent boutique operations.

Expect to spend time on front office, housekeeping, F&B service, revenue, HR and the financial controls that hotel general managers actually answer for.

Why International Hotel Management Still Pays Off

Brand-affiliated hotels continue to expand into new markets — Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, parts of Africa and South-East Asia in particular — and they need bilingual or multilingual managers who understand SOPs, revenue management and guest experience at a brand level. The Bachelor in Hospitality & International Hotel Management gives you the qualification employers expect to see on a CV when you apply into those pipelines.

Who Should Look at the BHIHM011

School leavers who already know they want a career in hotels rather than a generic business degree.
International students aiming at chain-hotel management trainee programmes.
Working hospitality staff with a strong operational record who now need a degree to progress.
Anyone who plans to move country every two to three years through their career.

Career Paths After Graduation

Graduates of the Bachelor in Hospitality & International Hotel Management typically enter chain-hotel graduate or trainee schemes, take operational roles in front office, housekeeping or F&B, or move into reservations and revenue functions. Progression to assistant department head and beyond depends on individual performance and willingness to relocate.
