Edge Hotel School

Rise to the challenges of an ever-changing industry

The Edge Hotel School at the University of Essex provides industry-led hospitality and events management degrees with hands-on experience in a real 4* hotel on the campus, and the flexibility to choose a degree structure that suits you.

This unique experience provides students with the best of both worlds - which is why the Edge Hotel School is rated 1st in the UK for student satisfaction in our subject area in the National Student Survey 2020.

We have a diverse academic community where different levels of industry-relevant experience and academic expertise are brought together by shared passions and interests.

Wivenhoe House, a striking 4* country house hotel on the University of Essex Colchester campus, is where students and professional staff come together to learn and deliver exceptional service.  

If you want to challenge convention, gain experience and skills to face the challenges of a fast-paced, global industry and be empowered to succeed - welcome home.
