Course summary
Our Business Management degree with Events specialism introduces you to industry specific modules where you'll be immersed in the world of events and graduate prepared with the professional and managerial knowledge and skills required to ensure you are industry ready. Emphasis is placed on advancing your understanding of the events business environment studying modules such as exploring the “Eventscape”, the event professional and contemporary issues in tourism and events. You will also be able to place this into context through staging a ‘live’ event, including the planning, delivery and evaluation stages via an integrated work-based project. With the placement year option, you will take a year in industry usually based within an organisation in your subject area. These are generally started after the end of your studies in your second year. Undertaking a placement can be beneficial to your subject area knowledge and significantly enhance your employability after completion of your award. All of our Business Management degrees are designed to equip you with a diverse skillset in management and leadership and the latest up-to-date knowledge of how business operates in the real world. We work with employers to constantly update our degrees to make sure you leave with the right skills for a successful career. Our tutors have vast experience of working in a variety of industries and bring all of their knowledge into the classroom as well as underpinning their teaching with informed research. Furthermore, to enhance your employability, there is a key focus for developing you as a business professional through the use of live briefs and a consultancy project.
Modules
In your first year, you will study six modules which are core across the Business Management portfolio. Studying within a multi-disciplinary context, you’ll learn in a collaborative manner and develop a deeper insight into the wider business environment. You’ll develop a firm foundation of the necessary knowledge, academic and professional skills which you’ll build upon in your second and third years. In the second year, you will study a further four core modules with the option of two specialist modules depending on your named award. If you are going to take a placement this will be included in between the second and third year. In the third and final year of your studies, you will develop further specialist knowledge through an additional three core modules, one specialist module and a final year consultancy project within your chosen specialism.
Assessment method
Assessment methods depend on the modules you will be studying. The primary methods of assessment are coursework and evaluative assignments, digital portfolio development, in-class tests, presentations (both individual and group) and examinations. Most modules include a Tutorial Assessment, which carry a weighting of around 10% and your attendance and participation in class will be reflected in the awarded mark.
