**Course summary**
This course is based on the final year of our BSc (Honours) Events Management (Arts and Entertainment) course. It allows you to top up a HND, foundation degree or equivalent in a relevant subject to a honours degree level in Event Management (Arts and Entertainment).

This could include events in arts venues, live gigs, museums, cultural attractions and festivals. This course will give you an understanding of how events in this sector are strategically managed and funded from both a political and cultural perspective.

You will develop your skills through a combination of seminars and workshops, by attending lectures and by completing projects. Field trips, site visits and work with external organisations enhance your engagement and understanding of the complexities and challenges of operating in the international events industry particularly in the arts and entertainment sector.
