Events Management

You’re highly organised, detail oriented, and unflappable. If something goes wrong, you are the first to come up with a solution.

Our BSc (Hons) Events Management degree will equip you with the tools to help you create, organise, and manage a wide variety of specialist events from the consumer focused, to the business oriented. This course is part of our business portfolio, so you will receive a thorough grounding in all aspects of running a successful organisation from finance, law, organisational behaviour, strategy, and marketing.

While studying at ARU, you’ll make strong professional connections, build a portfolio of your events management experience and with regular opportunities to work with events professionals in the Peterborough area, you will increase your employability and grow in confidence.

At ARU, we understand it’s important to learn and develop your skills in a practical environment and enhance your employability. That’s why we host regular visits from local employers and professionals, allowing you the chance to build a network and make connections.

Throughout your Events Management degree, you’ll get an insight into the wide variety of roles available within the industry. You’ll gain valuable professional experience in the Peterborough area which is enjoying significant investment and growth opportunities within this field.

We know that your future career is important, and you want to build your CV. So, we’ll encourage you to grab every opportunity for real-world experience by building your reflective log – and should you choose this option, you could also include a placement year in the industry as part of your course.
