Event Management (Taught)

Course summary

On this hands-on Masters degree our aim is to cultivate high quality, entrepreneurially-adept graduates to work in all aspects of the event industry – and to positively influence change in the event sector. If you have a particular specialism or project you’d like to develop, this can form the focus of your degree, whilst we’ll equip you with the knowledge, skillset and work-based experience to forge a successful career in the exciting events industry. You’ll develop a strong knowledge base across a broad cross-section of the events industry. Specifically, you will develop an understanding of the legal and economic challenges inherent within the industry, as well as creative marketing techniques and the process and considerations of running an event from conception to completion. You’ll also have specific sessions focused on career progression and finding opportunities within the events business. You will be expected to run, or be involved with running, a variety of events throughout the year. What you’ll study We've been running our own commercial businesses for almost 30 years. This includes a live music and events venue and an esports complex. It’s in these commercial spaces where you’ll learn, gain valuable experience, and work alongside industry professionals who deliver events week in, week out. Our and undergraduate postgraduate courses cover a range of subjects, including esports, film and TV, content creation, broadcasting and event production, music business, sound and performance. This creative network enables opportunities to collaborate, connect and extend your own skillset. You’ll be paired with an industry mentor, matched to your project and/or specialism. They’ll work with you throughout your studies, acting as an external source of advice, support, contacts, and possibly employment opportunities. You’ll also have the opportunity to access a new event management/production company structure to help align working practices to the real working world, benefiting from NTU’s broad array of event opportunities.
