Accelerated degrees

Get into industry quicker with an accelerated degree

The Edge Hotel School prides itself in delivering innovative and rewarding degrees in events and hospitality management. With our accelerated degrees, students can achieve their full BA in two years, getting a head-start into our dynamic sector and incurring less in tuition fees and living expenses.

Our BA Hotel Management and BA Events Management with Hospitality offer more practical experience within our fully-commercial 4* country house hotel, Wivenhoe House. In combination with our engaging and industry relevant teaching, our accelerated degrees offer our most authentic hospitality and events experience. 

Completing a full BA in only two years is challenging, and requires exceptional dedication from its students. These courses forego the more traditional structure of other degrees in offering extended holiday periods, instead allowing students to gain experience in our hotel over the busy holiday periods and offering holidays more in line with professionals in our sector, spread out over the course of a year.

Recently, the Edge Hotel School has achieved recognisable success - with 100% of graduates in employment or further study per the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020 and achieving 7th for overall student satisfaction for Tourism, Transport and Travel in the National Student Survey 2022. Our accelerated courses are one of our defining features - and proudest achievements.

Hear below from Eleanor Steele, graduate of the Edge Hotel School, on why she believes her experience of the accelerated BA Hotel Management has set her up for success.
