Course description
To become a successful events manager, you'll need skills and
knowledge in areas such as marketing for events, financial reporting,
project planning, event bidding and consumer behaviour; all of which are
offered by this exciting degree. You'll be capable of overseeing the
organisation of events as diverse as product launches, fundraising,
corporate meetings, personal gatherings (such as weddings and reunions)
and mega-events such as the Olympic Games.
This course will give you the opportunity to organise a real event
with other students from your course in the second year and gain
invaluable knowledge and experience of the events industry on a minimum
of 30-weeks work placement in your third year. In your final year,
you’ll have a choice of 20 options to study, allowing you to tailor your
course to suit your interests and passions. You'll also benefit from
guest lectures, visits to local and regional event venues and real
example case studies as part of your assignments."During my placement at All About The Idea, I got involved in different
projects from huge internal communication events with Lidl and Coca-Cola
to project managing my very own event.” – Rachel Norris, 2016
