This BA (Hons) Hospitality Management and Leadership course starts at Level 5, so you join in year 2 with completed Level 4 study worth 120 credits in a relevant subject, or an equivalent such as a relevant HNC or CertHE. Full-time weekday study is in London, with research-led self-managed learning and critical examination of hospitality practice emphasised. It is not the Top-Up sibling for holders who already have Level 5 credit, and not a foundation-year start. Hospitality and events management capability part-way through the undergraduate journey is the practical framing here. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

Funding with Student Finance England
AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply. If you used student finance for earlier study, that can affect what you can borrow, so we check your position first.
Check your Student Finance eligibility — free, takes about 2 minutes.
How often you study
Full-time weekday study is listed at London. Most courses AF Education supports need 1 to 2 campus days a week, usually about 2 to 4 hours a day, so many students keep working. Your exact timetable is confirmed before you enrol.
Career and progression
AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. The degree aims to build knowledge and transferable skills valued across related roles.

About BA (Hons) Hospitality Management and Leadership
This University for the Creative Arts BA (Hons) Hospitality Management and Leadership course is recorded at Level 5 on our system — a full-time weekday stage for UK students building hospitality and events management capability part-way through the undergraduate journey. Existing details still emphasise research-led self-managed learning, critical examination of industry issues, and teaching via lectures, guest lectures, day field trips, project work, and student-led seminars.
Compared with the bachelor's-level and Top-Up sibling pages that share the same award title, use this entry when you specifically need the Level 5 framing. That can suit applicants progressing from Level 4 study, career changers entering mid-programme where credit transfer is accepted, and learners comparing UCA hospitality stages rather than a one-year top-up alone.
For UK home students, AF Education can help clarify Student Finance England implications where eligibility applies, separate this Level 5 hospitality course from the bachelor's and Top-Up siblings, and outline realistic evidence for your application. Compare related courses carefully so you apply to the award level, study mode, and timetable that match your prior learning and weekly commitments as a UK applicant.
