How is the BBHTM013 different from a generic business degree?

The Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) (BBHTM013) teaches the same business fundamentals but through hospitality and tourism case material, so what you learn maps directly onto sector work.

Will this degree help me start my own hospitality business?

It gives you the operational, marketing and finance grounding to think clearly about a venture. Actually launching a business always involves additional legal, tax and market-specific factors.

Can I specialise in either tourism or hospitality during the degree?

The programme covers both deliberately. Some elective choices may allow you to lean further in one direction; specifics are confirmed at enrolment.

Is the BBHTM013 a good route into chain-hotel graduate schemes?

Chain-hotel graduate schemes typically respect UK bachelor's degrees with hospitality content. Acceptance depends on the individual scheme's selection criteria.

How long does the bachelor's take?

It is a three-year full-time bachelor's degree, with flexible options discussed at admissions.

Do I need work experience before applying?

Prior hospitality or travel experience is helpful but not required. Many students start with no sector exposure and pick up exposure during the degree.

Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) (BBHTM013) at LSTH

Most general business degrees treat hospitality and tourism as a case study at best. The Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) (BBHTM013) flips that — it teaches business fundamentals through the lens of hotels, tour operators, restaurants and travel businesses, which means every marketing example, every operations problem and every finance lecture has a sector-specific shape.

It is built for learners who know they want to spend their working life in the wider hospitality and tourism economy, but who also want the broad business skill set that lets them move between sub-sectors.

Why a Sector-Focused Business Degree Helps

A hotel general manager has to think about marketing, P&L, HR and operations on the same morning. A tour operations director juggles supplier contracts, customer service and cashflow.
