    About

    Introduction:

    On this hands-on Masters degree our aim is to cultivate high quality, entrepreneurially-adept graduates to work in all aspects of the event industry – and to positively influence change in the event sector.

    If you have a particular specialism or project you’d like to develop, this can form the focus of your degree, whilst we’ll equip you with the knowledge, skillset and work-based experience to forge a successful career in the exciting events industry.

    You’ll develop a strong knowledge base across a broad cross-section of the events industry. Specifically, you will develop an understanding of the legal and economic challenges inherent within the industry, as well as creative marketing techniques and the process and considerations of running an event from conception to completion.

    You’ll also have specific sessions focused on career progression and finding opportunities within the events business.

    You will be expected to run, or be involved with running, a variety of events throughout the year.
