Overview

The Tourism, Hospitality and Event sectors are at the heart of Northern Ireland economic growth and are dispersing wealth right across Northern Ireland. The Tourism Strategy: 10 Year Plan (Dept of Economy, 2023) establishes a vision and mission for the growth in Northern Ireland over the next decade and the events industry is embedded deeply in this strategy. Consumer events such as sporting events and concerts draw crowds and stimulate the local economy, and business events play an important role in showcasing NI as a place to visit, study, live, work, do business and invest in. It is estimated the expansion of the business events sector will generate up to 2,000 new jobs across Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland Business Events - Integrated Strategy 2030).

Recently, the Department of Digital Culture Media and Sport estimated that the events industry generates £84bn every year with conferences and business events generating over £18bn in direct spend annually. With over 700,00 people employed within the events industry, there is a need for new graduates in this sector and opportunities are available across the industry in areas such as exhibitions and conferences, business events, music and festivals, and bespoke sporting events.

This Foundation Degree in Event Management, validated by Ulster University aims to provide graduates with the principles and theories alongside the practical application of skills required to plan, organise and manage live events. Our students will have the skills, knowledge and experience the industry needs and this programme opens the door to an exciting range of career pathways.

Students are also given the opportunity to travel and to experience the industry at first hand through Work Based Learning, site visits to the industry or through their engagement with a wide range of industry professionals. The Turing Scheme is the UK government’s programme to provide funding for international opportunities in education and training across the world and students on this programme will have the opportunity to take up opportunities through this scheme.

Students will also have the potential to work on a range of events, adapting to the very different challenges of charitable fundraising, corporate meetings, conferences, exhibitions, festivals and public events.

How will I be assessed?

Presentations, written and practical assessments.

Career Prospects

Students will have the potential to work on a range of events, adapting to the very different challenges of charitable fundraising, corporate meetings, conferences, exhibitions, festivals, and public events.

Ulster University will accept students onto the final year of the BSc Hons Leisure and Events Management degree after successful completion of summer bridging modules. Alternatively, since this programme has been designed to meet the demands of a major employment growth area, you will be able to pursue a career in the events industry.

Suitable roles for graduates include: Events management, sales and marketing management, sport events promotion, chartible fundraising, conference and exhibition management, running your own events company.
