Course overview
The events industry is considered one of the most valued industries in ‘our’ world today. We say ‘our world’ as every event, technology advancement and choice of medium we use to communicate shapes the society we live in and this course is a way to be directly involved in your own future, but you do not need us to convince you. Just think of a time when you were at or viewed an event. An event that could have helped to shape your or another person’s life; it could be a wedding, a work gathering or something as grand as the Love island live final. A large variety of these events has been documented or formed a part of our history which is one of the many reasons why it is such a live and increasingly important industry to be a part of. Events Management does not limit you to just planning or organising everyday events, it is also the stepping stone to a possible career in mass organised and communicated affairs such as: large sporting events, Reality TV show spin offs, Celebrity functions, PR Events for celebrities, Talent shows across the world or even Royal events and so much more.
