BA(Hons) Creative Events Management

Course Description

Steering away from the conventional business school approach, Falmouth’s BA(Hons) Creative Events Management has entrepreneurship at its heart. We teach the skills you need to produce outstanding creative events from concept to completion, priming you to add value in business, society and the public sector. This course will enable you to manage creative events like music festivals, touring performances and multi-artform celebrations, as well as develop innovative approaches for more business-focused events including conferences and product launches. Falmouth is the perfect place for this pioneering degree, which sets business acumen, entrepreneurship, innovation and partnership firmly within the creative mindset that we're known for. Working alongside other courses, you'll design and deliver events across both our campuses as well as off site on a range of live briefs. Throughout the course, you'll get an all-encompassing view of what's needed to create and sustain organisations within the creative industries; developing project management skills along with a detailed understanding of how the arts and cultural sectors function. Particular emphasis will be placed on managing complexity, uncertainty and diversity, preparing you to excel in an ever-evolving cultural landscape. Your fellow Creative Events Management students will share your sense of ambition, tempered with awareness, skill and the ability to listen to, and work with, others. You'll learn through doing, engaging directly with locally and nationally-recognised organisations, practitioners and professionals as well as with the public. Through this hands-on experience, you’ll connect straight into the creative and media industries, building valuable relationships, which you can capitalise on when you graduate.
