How is the Master in Hotel Management (MHM005) different from the Master in International Hotel Management?

The MHM005 is grounded in core hotel-management thinking. The international variant deliberately leans into multi-property, multi-market and cross-cultural leadership.

Do I need hospitality experience to take the MHM005?

Strongly recommended. The course assumes you've seen how properties actually run, so the strategic conversations make sense.

Will the master help me become a general manager?

Many graduates progress towards GM-track roles, but appointments depend on operational track record, references and property fit.

How long does the Master in Hotel Management take?

Typical durations range from 12–24 months depending on study mode. Admissions can map this to your intake.

Can I study the MHM005 online?

Distance and hybrid options are available for some intakes. Speak to admissions for current modes.

What does the master cost?

Fees vary by mode and intake. Contact LSTH admissions for current pricing.

Master in Hotel Management (MHM005) at LSTH

The Master in Hotel Management (MHM005) is built for hospitality professionals who've already done the operational years & want a postgraduate frame for what they've learned. It's less about teaching you how a hotel runs — you know — and more about giving you a clearer commercial & leadership vocabulary for the next step.

It suits people moving towards general-management or specialist-leadership tracks across hotels, branded residences, serviced apartments & private hospitality groups.

Why a Master in Hotel Management at This Point in Your Career

Mid-career hospitality professionals often find themselves doing the work of a manager without the structured thinking to push beyond it. The Master in Hotel Management (MHM005) tackles that — finance basics, revenue logic, people-leadership, guest-experience strategy & the kind of decision-making that distinguishes a property head from a senior supervisor.

Who the MHM005 Is For

Department heads & senior supervisors aiming at GM or AGM seats.
Operations managers from independent hotels considering chain or group roles.
Hospitality graduates who've gathered 3–5 years of property experience.
Career-changers from senior service-industry roles bringing transferable leadership.

Career Pathways

Graduates of the Master in Hotel Management typically move towards assistant general manager, head of department in larger properties, area-operations roles & head-office hospitality functions. The MHM005 supports those progressions; recruitment is driven by operational track record alongside the qualification.
