In Year 3, students work on a live event project which involves planning and delivering an event for a client. Students also undertake an extended independent study module and may choose from a consultancy project, a part-time work placement or a dissertation.Students explore the theories and concepts of events; the vocational nature of the subject and the nature and characteristics of events workplaces; the environmental context of event management; the techniques needed to operate effectively in the events industry; the skills needed to research and present findings in the events domain; and the generic knowledge and skills needed to function in any business environment.The Event Management course is vocationally orientated, reflecting the University's close relationships with organisations in both the private and public sectors. The University has links with many venues and event management companies, which provides students with year-round opportunities to get involved in local and national events. Local employers make regular contributions to the programme and many offer work placements.
