Events Management

Course Summary

Events management is a challenging and varied career where you can expect to work with areas as diverse as marketing, finance, human resources, health and safety and risk management, and be able to juggle several high priority tasks at once. The role requires people who are level-headed and well organised but also enthusiastic, creative and dynamic. Teamwork is a crucial part of running any successful event and in your second year you have the chance to create, develop and manage your own live event as part of a team, working with real clients, venues and attendees. Festivals, meetings, conventions, exhibitions and sports events all make up the events industry, and you will have plenty of opportunities to get a feel for different kinds of event from familiarisation visits, site visits and attending live events, as well as from expert guest speakers. You will also get some hands-on experience working for a variety of clients at locations and venues across the country. Liverpool is well known for its thriving events scene. Events such as Sound City, Summer Pops, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and the Clothes Show Live put Liverpool on the map as a big player in the events industry. Venues like the Echo Arena, Anfield Stadium and St George's Hall have attracted events such as the MOBO Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards and Four Nations Rugby League Final.

Course Details – Assessment Method

Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, but will usually include a combination of exams and coursework. We recognise that all students perform differently depending on how they are assessed, which is why we use a range of assessment methods. These vary according to the module, but they could include: •exams (seen and unseen) •written work •presentations (group or individual) •practical assessments •portfolios (including e-portfolios) •planning and implementing your own ‘live’ event. Feedback is given for each assessment, as we believe this is vital in helping you to identify your strengths as well as areas where you may need to put in more work.
