Course description
This course teaches you how to become a professional international events manager in a modern business environment. A core strength of the course is that you develop the professional attributes of future event managers. By studying events theory, policy and practice, alongside gaining real-world experience, you learn what it takes to plan and manage memorable and successful events.
The international events industry includes private, public and voluntary organisations and spans a range of types of events including • conferences and meetings • exhibitions and trade fairs • incentive travel and performance improvement • corporate hospitality and corporate events • outdoor events • festivals and cultural events • music events • sporting events.
How you learn
You learn by taking part in seminars and workshops, by attending lectures and by completing projects. Field trips, site visits and work with organisations help to bring your learning to life with practical examples.
From year one, you have access to work experience opportunities across various event sectors. In year two, your employability skills are embedded through our Applied Event Operations module where you undertake work experience guided by personal tutors.
In the final year, you create and run your own live fundraising event for a charity. Past students have delivered networking events, fashion shows, gala dinners and music festivals.
Work placements in the UK and overseas
After year two, you have the opportunity to apply the skills you’ve gained by taking a one-year paid work placement. This is a great way to improve your industry knowledge with real insight and experience. It also enables you to build an eye-catching CV to impress future employers, and many students find jobs with their placement companies after graduating.
