For Combined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
Event Management is explored at a variety of levels from the local to the national and international and combines theoretical understanding with the development of the practical skills needed to operate in the sector. There is a mixture of practical and theoretical study. In Year 1, students pursue a number of core modules which include business and event-specific modules.
In Years 2 and 3, students continue to explore both business and event-specific modules with further investigation and application of theory and practical skills and are able to select some of their own preferences from a number of options. In Year 3, students undertake a project, which can be a dissertation or a work placement.
The programme is vocationally oriented. The University has close links with many venues and event management companies, which provides students with year-round opportunities to get involved in local and national events. Local employers make regular contributions to the programme and many offer work placements. Within this context, students acquire vital business skills and experience, and become involved with the local community.
