Our Business Management (Events) degree will immerse you in the world of events and equip you with plenty of skills and experience for your future career. You will also get to plan, deliver and evaluate your own live event. Then you’ll showcase this work at GradEX, our Final Year Show. Events management is a fast-paced and dynamic industry worth billions of pounds to the British economy. The demands are ever-changing, with a shift towards more virtual and hybrid events in recent years. It covers everything from small-scale staff events and promotions to big fundraisers, concerts, cruises, conferences and exhibitions. You could also specialise in honeymoon and baby events or even funerals. And to help give you the edge with employers, we offer double accreditation. It means you’ll get a leadership and management qualification from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) as well as your degree.
We offer other amazing opportunities too, including an international study exchange and the chance to gain an extra employability-focused award called Staffordshire EDGE. All the tutors have vast experience working in a variety of industries and bring their knowledge to the classroom. You’ll graduate industry-ready with flexible and transferable skills.
