    About

    This event management degree is for people who want to lead and shape the future of this industry. We'll help you grow into a business-savvy, innovative thinker who also puts sustainability at the heart of their decision-making.

    The highlights

    • You'll learn how to stage events and so much more: we also give you the management, leadership and entrepreneurial skills needed to excel in the events industry, a rapidly evolving sector that needs reshaping and rebuilding after the Covid pandemic
    • You'll learn how events, tourism and hospitality overlap to make up the wider 'visitor economy', and work closely with Tourism and Hospitality students - this will broaden your career options
    • You can study abroad for a semester in year two, and take a placement year before year three
    • All modules align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, so you will learn to think about the social and environmental impact of events, not just the financial gains.

You could initially apply for roles such as Conference and Event Co-ordinator, Marketing Executive, Business Development Manager, Communications Co-ordinator, but several years down the line, we think you'll be leading, inspiring and shaping the future of the visitor economy.
