Degree Overview

Your first year will give you an introduction to key themes and concepts relevant to the operational aspects of event management, in a broader context of related industries. You will also learn mainstream business skills to help develop your knowledge of how businesses work.

In year two you will learn about event design, and are assessed in a practical module. Other topics include sports events, and the management of venues and other facilities, which helps build on your foundation from year one.

The first half of year three sees you put events in their broader political context, as well as focusing on conferences and corporate events. The second half of year three has an industry focus, when you will either complete a 24-week work placement, or a consultancy based Live Project.

Your final year is focused on your dissertation, a large-scale piece of independent academic research. Other modules focus on event sustainability, and strategic management.
