SHTM MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management

The SHTM's MicroMasters in International Hospitality Management (MM), a unique and highly successful Master's level programme offered on the world-renowned edX online learning platform, continues to attract learners from around the world. With over 63,000 learners from over 205 countries to date, 1,021 of whom have chosen verification to obtain an official course certificate, this innovative online programme is a credit-bearing accelerated offering that can either stand alone or count towards entry to a traditional SHTM Master's degree.

First launched in January 2017, the MM programme takes a fresh approach to bridging the knowledge gap between higher education and the workplace. It prepares learners for 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.
