BA Hotel Management

Dream of working in a 5* hotel in London? Or maybe on a Caribbean resort? From weddings and conferences to restaurants and catering – our Hotel Management degree can take you all over the world.

The two-year accelerated Hotel Management degree is a one of a kind course in the UK. The course combines hotel experience in Wivenhoe House , a 4* country house hotel on Essex’s Colchester campus, with industry-relevant business management lectures to prepare you to become a successful manager.

With a student experience unlike any other, it may come as no surprise that the Edge Hotel School is ranked 7th in the UK for overall student satisfaction for Tourism, Transport and Travel in the National Student Survey 2022. This result follows the previous ranking of 3rd in the UK in the NSS2021, demonstrating a consistent level of excellence in delivering an exceptional student experience.

The BA Hotel Management is only available to students who do not require a VISA to study in the UK. Our three-year BA Hospitality Management has very similar course content, but is structured differently to allow applications from student of any fee status or VISA requirement.

With around 45 weeks of study per year and up to six weeks of annual holiday you will be able to fast-track your degree and start your career sooner. You will study topics including:

• Customer experience and culture
• Gastronomy and food trends
• Finance management
• Human resources management
• Marketing and sales
• Entrepreneurship and business strategy

The Edge Hotel School experience is unlike any other student experience. Not only will you graduate from a well-renowned university - you will develop your industry knowledge and professional skills by gaining valuable experience in a fully commercial 4* hotel alongside your studies.

You will gain experience in the different departments of the hotel such as the kitchen, front office, restaurant, housekeeping and events department. These shifts may involve some late finishes on occasion, as well as weekend work, so that you get to see all aspects of what the hotel offers: including restaurant meals, afternoon tea, weddings, meetings, tribute acts, baby showers, conferences and more.
