During the course, you’ll study diverse and conflicting interests within the events and entertainment sector and the principles of sustainability, ethics and good business practice. You’ll also learn about the interaction between markets, suppliers, clients, resources and other stakeholders, as well as the issues of lifestyle, consumption and culture as they affect people’s leisure lives.
