Welcome
to the London School of Hospitality and Tourism
As one of the leading centres
in the UK, the London School
of Hospitality and Tourism
regularly wins accolades from
a variety of industry bodies.
It is renowned and respected as a provider of
industry relevant courses, underpinned by excellent
teaching and resources. The School is committed to
ensuring that its courses serve its local and regional
communities by working closely with employers
through curriculum engagement and partnerships.
Practising professionals and employers in the sector
give guest lectures, provide placements and, at times,
assist with the assessment of our students. This close
relationship means that students are able to obtain
the skills that employers need, thus boosting their
employment opportunities.
In addition, staff work closely with a number of
schools from the surrounding boroughs to promote
careers in hospitality and tourism. Through links
with food technology, hospitality, and travel and
tourism teachers, the School also promotes food
studies in schools by assisting teachers with curriculum
development, as well as advising on the school meals
service. The aim is to encourage the progression
from school to further and higher education within
the same institution.
Finally, the highly successful Junior Chefs Academy
brings together food teachers, business education
partnerships, employers, parents and students as a
learning community within the University. This has
proved to be an enormous success and is part of
a food educative process that is so important to
the future health of the nation.
I am sure that by choosing the London School of
Hospitality and Tourism you will be making the decision
to join one of the most prestigious professional schools
in the country, and I look forward to meeting you at
some point during your studies.

As President and CEO of
Strategic Hotels and Resorts
and an alumnus of the
University, Laurence Geller CBE
has over 45 years of experience
in the hospitality industry.
‘
He also has a long association with the University
having graduated from the School of Hotel
Management and Catering when the institution
was Ealing Technical College. In March 2009 he
was awarded the University’s Lifetime Achievement
Award for Alumni and in 2010 he received an
honorary doctorate.
On being appointed to the post of Chancellor, Laurence
said: “Words are inadequate to express both the honour
and my delight at returning home after some 40 years
plus since my graduation. Our University has achieved
so very much and has a shining future ahead of it.
I am committed to doing everything I possibly can
to contribute to the terrific work being done by the
Vice-Chancellor and Board of Governors and to their
undoubted success for the future. I hope I can give back
just a fraction of what the University has given to me.”

Striving
for excellence
Hospitality is Britain’s fifth
largest industry employing
more than 2.4million people
and contributing over
£34billion in gross tax
revenues. The hospitality
economy is a huge engine
for job creation throughout
the UK and internationally.
Hospitality and Tourism has
an international reputation
for its courses. Studying in this
field is a great opportunity for
career development, providing
a passport to travel and work
around the world.
In 2009 the London School of Hospitality and Tourism
received a Queen’s Anniversary Award for outstanding
hospitality and tourism education. The Academy of
Culinary Arts, The Association Culinaire Française,
The Craft Guild of Chefs and The Master Chefs of
Great Britain all recognise the School as a centre of
excellence, quality and innovation. Our University
was the first in the country to receive the highest
grade for its hospitality and culinary arts courses
from the Training Skills Council, and in 2010 the
Government’s Quality Assurance Agency (QAA)
gave us full confidence in the quality of our provision.
Students who attend the University learn in our
training restaurant ‘Pillars’, which has twice been
named London Training Restaurant of the Year by
Restaurant Magazine, and get hands on experience
by cooking and serving in the modern kitchen,
restaurant and bar. Our facilities are in line with
those of London’s top restaurants and hotels, giving
our students the opportunity to experience what it
is like to work at the industry’s highest standards.
A second restaurant, FEAST, specialises in healthy
eating and is totally operated by students.
The School offers one of the UK’s largest provisions
of undergraduate and postgraduate commercial
aviation, travel and tourism management courses.
Here students have successfully joined some of
the industry’s top brands on completing their
qualification. These range from British Airways
to Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Current students
have been able to take advantage of such alumni
through guest lectures and field visits. Students
studying on the aviation and tourism courses at
UWL have been motivated to create a range of
cutting edge communication tools for their peers
including an e-magazine and e-community blog.
Our staff come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Many have worked and have been executive chefs
or senior managers in five star hotels and Michelin
star restaurants. They have experience in the
hospitality sector, contract catering and event
management. Two members of staff hold coveted
and prestigious CATEY awards, which are known
as the Oscars of the industry. Within the airline
and tourism field staff have a wealth of industry
experience. All are industrial practitioners having
worked for some of the world’s largest travel
and tourism companies including Qantas, Cathay
Pacific, Thomson Holidays, Lunn Poly and the
British Tourist Authority. All staff within the field
of airline and tourism are research active with an
increasing number of publications being produced.

of the lecturers involved in research
Professor Angela Roper
Professor Angela Roper is the lead academic
and Director of the International Centre for
Hotel and Resort Management (ICHARM).
She has more than 20 years of research
experience in the strategic development and
internationalisation of hotel companies and
tour operating firms and has worked as a Hotel
and Leisure Analyst for a financial institution in
the City. In addition to being a Visiting Scholar
at universities in the UK, Norway, Italy and the
USA she has also served as the Chair for the
Council for Hospitality Management Education.
Professor Roper has been influential in the
development of a research stream evaluating
the internationalisation and strategic
development of hotel companies and as a
result has published and presented widely on
this topic and undertaken numerous research
and consultancy projects.
The International Centre for Hotel and Resort
Management is the first of its kind to focus on
strategic and corporate issues in the hotel and
resort industry. Its vision is to become the world
leader in ground-breaking research into both
the management and development of hotel
and resort companies. The Centre delivers
innovative executive courses that develop
graduates who are able to work in corporate
positions and who aspire to lead as executives
in the industry.
The Centre has been set up with the support
of industry leaders who include the University’s
Chancellor, Laurence Geller CBE, and executives
in Hilton Worldwide and the InterContinental
Hotels Group.
Dr Alexandros Paraskevas
Dr Alexandros Paraskevas is a Chair in
Hospitality at the University of West London.
His hospitality industry background includes
internal auditing and operations management
positions with Marriott and Starwood. His
research interests focus on the governance
and management of risks/crises both in
an organisational and tourism destination
context. He has led numerous hotel industry
projects in the areas of risk, crisis, disaster
management and business continuity and
authored several academic articles and
book chapters on these topics. He has been
a member of the Complexity Research Group
at the London School of Economics and a
Director of the Complexity Society (UK). A
visiting scholar in Austria, Finland, Hong Kong,
Mexico, Spain and Taiwan, he has worked
with governments and tourism professional
associations on safety and security issues
and on crisis communications strategies.
Dr Paraskevas has served as advisor of
the International Hotel and Restaurant
Association’s (IH&RA) global council on
security, safety and crisis management and
is member of ASIS (the American Society for
Industrial Security professionals) and HEAT
(ASIS’ council for hospitality and tourism).
He is the author of Planning Research in
Hospitality and Tourism (2008, ButterworthHeinemann) together with Prof Levent Altinay.
Dr Amalia Tsiami
Dr Amalia Tsiami is senior lecturer based in
the field of Human Sciences at the School of
Psychology, Social Work and Human Sciences
at the University of West London. She works
also with the London School of Hospitality
and Tourism.
Until 2004 Dr Tsiami was senior researcher at
the School of Food Biosciences at University
of Reading, working on projects to enhance
the health promoting effects on European
bread products by providing and implementing
technologies for increased soluble fibre levels
in consumer – acceptable products. Prior
to that appointment, Dr Tsiami worked at
Unilever Laboratory in the Netherlands and
at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich,
where all posts were related to food science
and nutrition.
The main interest of her work is the
investigation of the relationship between diet
and health and focuses on the effects of dietary
intervention on risk factors of type two diabetes
and cardiovascular disease. Another area of
interest is to evaluate changes in consumer
eating behaviour through the display of
calorie information on menus, following the
launch of the ‘responsibility deal’ from the
British Government. The use of hydrocolloids
in food to enhance quality is another area
of interest. Dr Tsiami has published more than
50 full papers and conference proceedings.
Dr Tsiami studied her BSc (Hons) in Greece,
before gaining a Masters degree with
distinction in Food Technology at Reading
University, followed by a doctorate in Chemical
Sciences at University of East Anglia, her
experimental work took place at the Institute
of Food Research Norwich.

Andy Gatley
Andy Gatley has always been passionate
about food and spent his formative years
learning about it as well as working as a
professional chef in the UK but also in
America and France. However, for more
than twenty years he has been a Senior
Lecturer at the University of West London
where he teaches undergraduate and
postgraduate hospitality and culinary
arts students a range of food and research
related modules. With his growing interest in
the history, politics and culture surrounding
food he has developed some specialist
modules encompassing the sociology of
food as well as food policy. He also enjoys
teaching research methods and supervising
research students.
His own research interests have recently
focused on the alleged decline in cooking
skills within contemporary society, the factors
influencing domestic food practices more
generally and the impact of any such changes
on diet and health. He chose to adopt a
cross-cultural comparative methodology and
compare current domestic food practices in
Britain with those in France. His work has been
presented at a number of locations and he
continues to foster international relations
including having had the opportunity to
deliver seminars in Finland, France and India.
Dr Paul Fidgeon
Dr Paul Fidgeon leads a number of the
postgraduate courses in the London School of
Hospitality and Tourism. These include three
cognate areas of study: travel and tourism,
airline and airport management and hospitality
management. Prior to this he was the Course
Leader of the undergraduate tourism and
leisure management courses and led the
Tourism and Leisure Subject Quality Group.
Dr Fidgeon has come to the University of
West London with a first class honours degree
in Geography from the University of Hull. He
subsequently obtained a range of professional
qualifications in urban and regional planning
from the same university. A change of career
direction and love of research saw him study
for an MA and a PhD at the University of
Wales where he was sponsored by the Wales
Tourist Board. His research was fundamental
to the development of farm tourism and the
establishment of one of the first rural tourism
marketing co-operatives in Great Britain.
Dr Fidgeon has been invited to address
audiences involved in the management
of tourism throughout the world. He has
also co-ordinated international staff
and student exchange to and from the
University of West London. With support
of the European Union, he developed the
largest pan-European network of tourism
education institutions. For this, and in
recognition of his contribution to the
discipline, Dr Fidgeon holds four Visiting
Professorships at the University of Calgary
and Simon Fraser University (Canada) the
University of Bologna (Italy) and Poznan
Business University (Poland).

skills needed to become a successful

A key success factor for students is their
engagement with the broader curriculum
offered by the School. This includes
exposure to industry through visits and
field trips abroad, as well as working with
renowned industry professionals on
events. The School has an active celebrity
guest demonstration and speaker
schedule. It is also successful in national

attending exhibitions, conferences, guest
lectures and demonstrations. We organise
field trips and many students have the
opportunity to work with our patrons
on events such as special functions and
dinners. In recent years James Martin,

I chose the University of West London because it caught my eye with its
kitchen facilities, famous guest lecturers and success testimonies. My course
involved practical lessons where we learnt new skills and techniques. Our
tutors were supportive and helped organise trips; Loon Fung Market, Lets
Go British competition, where my team mate and I emerged winners at the
regional finals. For my work experience I had the opportunity of working at
Buckingham Palace during the Jubilee Festival. This was a once in a lifetime
opportunity which I am privileged and honoured about.
