This course is aimed at those who want to develop a career in the planning and management of events, with a particular focus on hospitality. Being based in London, where all the main event associations are based and where major sports events, gala evenings and film premieres regularly take place, this course will put you right at the heart of the events management industry. To complement the event modules you will also study hospitality modules that look at the provision and management of food and beverage services or production. In addition, you will study essential business modules that will provide you with an understanding of areas such as managing people, project management, sales and marketing, and accounting. This is a work relevant course that combines academic study with practical skills, helping you to put theory into practice in a work related environment. Students must complete 400 hours work experience in years one and two of the course.

A range of jobs are open to graduates in event management. Our graduates have secured positions as assistant event organisers, event planners, fundraising officers, festival managers, event designers, event logistics managers, venue managers, event and project coordinators and event client coordinators. In addition, many have gone on to run their own events businesses, with support from the University.
