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.
Professor Peter John
Vice Chancellor

The london school of hospitality and tourism
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
held 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 in philosophy.
On being appointed to the post of Chancellor Designate,
Laurence said: “Words are inadequate to express both
the honour and my delight at returning home after some
40 plus years 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 their undoubted
success as it enters the next stage of its inevitable
growth. I hope I can give back just a fraction of what
the University has given me.”

Striving for excellence
in hospitality
I have never used the
word outstanding so
much in a good practice
visit to any other college
in the UK.
Neil Edwards
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate
According to the People 1st State of the Nation Report, 2011, tourism and hospitality
is one of the most important sectors for the UK economy and employment – it is one
of the fastest growing sectors in the country. Currently there are around 180,000
businesses in the UK hospitality and tourism sector, employing 2.1 million people
– 7.2% of the UK’s total working population (People 1st, 2011). With such strong
employment prospects nationally and internationally, courses in this field not only
offer great opportunities for career development, they also provide a passport to
travel and work around the world.
The London School of Hospitality and Tourism has a reputation as a well respected
provider of hospitality, tourism and culinary arts education and training. We have
achieved many accolades – in 2009, we 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 our School as a centre of excellence, quality and innovation.
We also achieved COVE (Centre of Vocational Excellence) status in 2003.
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 the
Governments Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has awarded the London School
of Hospitality and Tourism an ‘excellent’ rating for the quality of its teaching,
its course design and the support it gives to its students.
Our hospitality and culinary arts students train 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
highest industry standards. A second restaurant, FEAST, specialises in healthy eating
and is totally operated by students using a self service system.
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.

Highlights
and achievements
The School is a proud winner of the
prestigious Queen’s Anniversary
Award. The prize was awarded
in recognition of the Schools’
excellence in hospitality and
tourism education.
In 2011, six of our hospitality students were selected as mentees
as part of the prestigious Savoy Society Mentoring Scheme, giving
them the opportunity to learn from some of the most prominent
professionals within the industry. The University was also selected by
Jet Set Sports Hospitality as one of only three educational institutions
from which to recruit all of their events and hospitality staff for the
2012 London Olympics.
NVQ Level 3 Pastry student, Andre Rhone, was named National
Chef Apprentice of the Year at the 2011 Hospitality Apprenticeship
Awards. The prestigious awards held in partnership with the Academy
of Culinary Arts and the Craft Guild of Chefs aim to celebrate the
brightest and most committed people in the hospitality trade and
are a great opportunity for apprentices to have their
achievements recognised
In 2008 and 2009, Pillars was named London Training Restaurant of
the Year and in 2007, the restaurant beat off competition from fifteen
other shortlisted universities and colleges across the UK to take the title
of College Restaurant of the Year. The prestigious awards are given
annually by Restaurant Magazine, a leading publication for restaurant
lovers and professionals alike.
In 2009 Alistair Birt, a third year BSc (Hons) Culinary Arts Management
student won a Medallion of Excellence at WorldSkills in Canada for
Patisserie and Confectionery. Another student was the only student
in the UK to receive a Graduate Award from the Craft Guild of Chefs.
We are also the winner of the 2008 Springboard Education Award
for ‘Adopt a School’ with the Academy of Culinary Arts.
Other awards include:
• Cost Sector Education Award for Food Excellence and Skills Training
• Two awards for Teacher Innovation awarded by the Professional
Association of Catering Education
• The British Hospitality Association Centenary Award for exemplary
hospitality education
• The Academy of Food and Wine College of the Year Award
•Our students have won many gold and silver medals at various
culinary exhibitions, nationally and internationally.

Your application
We accept applications for all courses throughout the year. Please
complete the appropriate application form for your chosen course, and
we will process this once it is received. For some courses, we will arrange
for you to meet with the course leader for an informal interview.
Fees and funding
Where available, provisional fees for study have been detailed,
however, where fees are not available these can be found out upon
application. Full-time courses are free for UK and EU students who
are under 19 on 31 August of the year that they start the course.
If you are 19 or over you could study a Level 2 or 3 course for free
if you do not already have a qualification at that level. Exam and
material fees may be payable but help towards these is available in
cases of financial hardship. Contact us on 0800 036 8888 to find

International students
We welcome international students on all our courses. We will be
pleased to advise you on your course of study and tailor a specially

your staff but cannot find what you need here, we would be happy
to discuss your specific requirements for tailored courses.
NOTE
All ingredients are supplied for training and practical classes. The food
produced remains the property of the University and therefore in the
interest of food safety students are not allowed to take the food home
unless permission is given by the Operations Manager or another senior
member of staff.
Fees payable by a sponsor must be paid within 30 days of the
University’s invoice being presented. Companies run by friends or
relatives are not acceptable sponsors and we will only continue to view
an organisation as a true sponsor if your fees are paid promptly. It will
be your responsibility to ensure that your fees are paid in full – results
may be withheld if your fees are not paid.
If you intend to be responsible for your own fees, we require you
to pay:
• 50% on enrolment (from which any deposit paid will be deducted)
• The remaining 50% in two instalments (normally 25% within three
months and the final 25% within six months of the start
of your course)
Payment can be made by cheque or credit card. Some of our courses
also benefit from discounts and concessionary rates – further details
are available from the Learning Advice Centre on 0800 036 8888.
Fees for international students will be provided upon application.
