Duration: Three years full-time; sandwich four years The event industry has seen significant growth in recent years, and is worth £39.1 billion in the UK alone. Events play a key role in economic development and social well-being, and can be used to help achieve business objectives and other goals such as community cohesion. They can, however, also impact negatively on quality of life and the environment. This exciting and vocationally-relevant degree brings together UWE Bristol's recognised expertise in event studies, management and tourism, and is primarily for those wishing to specialise in the business of events and events in business. You will study the main disciplines and operational areas of business alongside specialist modules focusing on management functions, processes and values in events - from inception through to closure and evaluation. You will also explore diverse parts of the industry such as music concerts and festivals, conferences and meetings, sporting events, and weddings and celebrations. Course content is continually refreshed and connected to the real-world, and is delivered by experienced, research-active professionals in a city region with a national and increasingly international reputation for its events and festivals.

You will graduate with an understanding of businesses and organisations in the event industry, their management and the dynamic environment in which they operate, and be equipped with the employability attributes and skills necessary for graduate careers in/related to events. The foundation in business and management alongside the events specialism means that a variety of career options will be available to you, spanning the private, public and voluntary sectors.
