Events Management – (B.A.)

Events management is one of the fastest-growing business areas and the Events industry is worth more than £10 billion per annum. There is high demand for qualified events management professionals. Close to world-class facilities such as the O2 and Excel, Greenwich has much to offer an events management student. From conferences, exhibitions and sporting occasions to charity, arts and live music events, our programme covers all the key aspects of events management needed for a successful career in this rapidly expanding and exciting industry.

The programme has been developed in consultation with events employers and combines academic rigour with practical experience and reflection. In year 1, students learn about the operational aspects of events management, such as risk and creative aspects, such as design. In year 2, students focus on managing events, people and their own career development. In year 3, students debate issues surrounding contemporary events and apply their collective learning and experience to delivering their own live event.

Graduates are equipped for careers managing festivals, events, concerts, conferences and cultural sporting venues. Other employment opportunities include hospitality and specialist event management work in commercial and cultural organisations, and event planning and marketing.
