SHTM to Relaunch Online MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management
Responding to popular demand, the SHTM will relaunch its MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management programme in 2018, providing more opportunities for those who were eager to join the programme last time but were unable to.

Led by the SHTM's Professor Hanqin Qiu, and supported by globally renowned academics and practitioners, the programme has attracted close to 35,000 learners - 364 of whom chose edX verification for an official course certificate - from almost 175 countries.

First launched in January 2017, the SHTM's MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management programme is a fresh approach to bridging the knowledge gap between higher education and the workplace. Featuring four courses and offered on the edX platform, this innovative online programme is a credit bearing, accelerated Master's level offering that can stand alone or count towards entry to a traditional SHTM Master's degree.

The innovative programme prepares learners for the careers that are in demand today by offering expertise in the dynamic field of international hospitality management through four courses: "Luxury Management", "Hospitality and Tourism Technology and Innovation", "Managing Marketing in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry" and "Managing Human Resources in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry".

The schedule of the re-runs is as follows.
