About this course

Your foundation year will allow you to develop key business knowledge, providing an excellent basis for your subsequent years of study where you’ll have the opportunity to explore events in more depth – including arts, fashion, music and corporate events.

You will share your foundation year with students on other business-related foundation year courses to enable you to share ideas and insights with fellow London Met students.

A degree in events management can help you enter a wide range of careers. Many of our graduates have found employment with employers such as BlueGlass Interactive, C Squared, Chillisauce, Diageo, Heart Productions, TripAdvisor and Upper Street Events.

With the support provided at London Met – including the University’s business incubator Accelerator – many have also gone on to set up their own businesses or undertake postgraduate study.

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

at least one A level (or a minimum of 32 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC Subsidiary/National/BTEC Extended Diploma)
English Language GCSE at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)

Professional accreditation
Our events management course is recognised by the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO), the UK’s leading professional body for conference and event organisation.
