COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

Events have increasingly become important markers and influencers in our lives. Whether in sport, the arts, business or politics, not a day goes by without a major event taking place somewhere in the world.

From massive events like Glastonbury Festival to intricate product launches, you will gain the ability to plan, promote and produce events of all sizes, including managing staff and suppliers as well as adhering to licensing requirements. You will also learn how to run your own events business.

Our applied management course is dedicated to getting you into the events industry, and our experienced lecturers will help you find your way. All modules on the course are contextualised into the events industry – everything you learn will have a practical application when you begin your career.

We would strongly recommend that you complete the sandwich option of this course which includes a one-year placement in industry to give you the relevant, real-life event experience that will significantly improve your employment prospects once you graduate. There will be a variety of further opportunities to gain paid or voluntary work experience at various events throughout your course.

Our Events Society is one of the largest in the university, and you will be made very welcome. As a member of the busy society, you can gain extra qualifications, for example a first aid certificate. You may also be able to plan and implement your own events.
