Course summary

The fast-moving events industry is a critical contributor to the global economy. On this programme you'll discover how to create unforgettable events. By blending theory with the hands-on skills employers look for, this course will empower you to make an impact as one of the next generation of events professionals.

WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE?

This programme will provide you with the specialist knowledge, expertise and skills required to succeed in the rapidly evolving events sector.
During the programme you’ll work in a group to put on a live event, giving you the opportunity to apply, evaluate and build on your learning.
Our international reputation means you'll learn from tutors who’ve worked in the industry, for example in festivals, experiential marketing and brand activation, sports and non-profit events. Your tutors will also introduce you to guest lecturers working in the event industry who give fascinating up to date insights.
You’ll have invaluable opportunities to access networks of event managers through these guest lectures and build links to events companies – this has led to some students securing jobs in the event industry as soon as they complete their studies.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities outside of your core studies to develop your event experience such as working at International Confex, the events industry trade show, and supporting or working at a range of other local and regional events.
You won’t need to have an events background at an undergraduate level to study this programme; it’s designed to give you all the expertise you need to establish a career in this fast-moving sector.
