This course is ideal for students who want to build a career within the event sector. Previous students have studied a wide variety of subjects during school or college. The unifying theme among our students is a passion for creating and managing exciting events, regardless of previous experience or study.
We welcome international students who wish to study this global sector at a UK university. We also support mature students who may have previously worked on events and now wish to formalise their experience with a degree qualification. Mature students may also include those with experience in a different sector who are now seeking a career change.
