Modules

The core philosophy of the course is to produce a contextually specific course of management education within the events sector. In this sense the course will be both vocationally and managerially driven. The award seeks to examine the relationships between the fundamental elements that are serviced by events management. The global nature of events management is also accommodated within the course. The need to produce a qualification that is recognised by industry and allows for transferability and mobility between different sectors of the economy has also been another key structuring principle.
