Course summary

The programme combines the multidisciplinary nature of business studies provision together with awareness of the applied logistical and operational elements of event management. During the second and final years of the programme, you will be able to demonstrate your acquired knowledge and skills through the conceptual planning, design and implementation of their own events. There is a primary focus on the development of students’ intellectual and practical skills that will support you both as learners and as future managers. Modules are designed to be active and experiential so that the skills and knowledge you develop can be implemented in realistic settings. By its nature, Business Management is a multi-disciplinary programme that will explore a range of areas. Throughout the degree you will follow subject themes in marketing, people management, finance, and information systems. You are encouraged to take a placement in the third year of your studies and have the opportunity to undertake a 10 week placement as part of your final year studies. The programme takes advantage of the enviable opportunities presented by the scale, wealth and diversity of events in the local and regional area.
