Whether you are interested in festivals, sports, conferences, exhibitions, fundraising events, party planning, life-stage celebrations, or another area, this degree will leave you equipped to flourish.  

    As one  of the longest running Events Management degrees in the country, with experienced staff, extensive alumni and industry links across the UK the Events Management degree at Cardiff Met recently received an overall student satisfaction rating of 92%. We are also one of a handful of UK Events courses accredited by the Institute of Hospitality demonstrating we meet recognised levels and standards of professional knowledge, skills and understanding, relevant to the needs of the industry and accepted international benchmark standards.

    This course combines business management skills with key concepts of events management. You will learn the techniques, specialisms and issues involved in staging events, from creative aspects of event design and theming, to staging and production, marketing and promotion, project management, safety and licensing, impact evaluation and sustainability, strategic management, finances and other critical industry issues. We also offer a unique pathway structure facilitating specialisation in specific sectors such as festivals and cultural events, global sporting events and conferences, exhibitions and corporate events.

    As an Events City, with both internationally recognised venues and a plethora of smaller arts and cultural venues, Cardiff is an ideal location for those studying Events Management.  With the Principality Stadium, Motorpoint Arena, Wales Millennium Centre, SWALEC Stadium and Cardiff City Stadium attracting major artists like Ed Sheeran, the Rolling Stones, Cold Play, Beyoncé and Jay Z, in addition to major sports events such as the Champions League Finals, The Ashes, The Rugby World Cup and Volvo Ocean Race, Cardiff truly is a world class Events City.

    As we place 'real world' experience at the heart of our programme, in the first year you will design and deliver your own event project, within the controlled environment of the university.

    On the second year we work with a range of charities raising funds and awareness. You will be required to research, develop, pitch, plan, deliver and evaluate your own live event project in a venue of your choice (Event Project Management module).  This could be anything from a music event, to a fashion show, a comedy night, or a talent show. You can see some of the past events on the Events Management Facebook page.

    All our students have the opportunity and are encouraged to spend a year in industry as part of the course and recent students have spent this time with organisations such as Hewlett Packard, Disney, the Greenwich Country Club and various international hotel chains.

    Our industry links mean that opportunities for gaining experience also go far beyond our official work placement modules and we actively encourage our students to undertake paid and volunteer work throughout the duration of their studies.
