Events Management

This practical degree blends core management learning with event-specific expertise. Students attend guest lectures, organise live events and join study trips linked to the course. The first year introduces the events sector through general business and specialist modules, and students begin planning their first small events. A distinctive element is the Industry Experience Portfolio, which students shape around the sector they hope to enter. By the final year, students plan, manage and analyse their own event for local charities, taking part in a festival management module and a live client module that connect study with delivery. Graduates are prepared for careers in event management and related industries, where planning, budgeting and client relationships are central. Graduates also gain experience of working with charities and community partners.
