Online MSc in Hospitality Business Innovation Established to Help Industry Professionals Excel in Digital Age
In the fast-paced world of hospitality and tourism, the industry is moving quickly to embrace innovations and new technologies. Increasing competitiveness within the industry is pushing organisations to seek highly adaptable hospitality professionals who seek to sharpen their knowledge and skills in the digital era through advanced postgraduate study. To cater to the educational needs of hospitality professionals, the SHTM is launching its online Master of Science in Hospitality Business Innovation (HBI) , commencing the academic year 2022/23.

Tailor-made for seasoned executives who want to advance their careers in the digital era, the HBI is an online programme offered in a part-time mode that suits the busy schedules of hospitality executives. Its participant-centred teaching and learning methods and its flexible delivery pattern will enable hospitality executives to complete subjects at their own pace while remaining in the workforce.

Subjects on offer include Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Hospitality Business, Hospitality Asset Management, Hospitality Business Research Methods, Hospitality Business Strategies, Hospitality Financial Management, Pricing Strategy and Revenue Management in the Hospitality Industry, Hospitality Leadership and Human Capital Development, Innovation and Technology Management in Hospitality, Integrated Hospitality Marketing, and Project Management in Hospitality.

The HBI is a three-year programme that can be fast-tracked in two years. An exceptional pathway is made available for learners of PolyUx MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management (MM) to accelerate their careers. Learners successfully completing the MM and are admitted to the HBI may apply for credit transfer and take only seven more courses to complete the full HBI programme.
