About your course
Our BA (Hons) Events Management course offers you exciting opportunities to manage a range of different events and secure essential professional experience. That's why you can expect to enjoy excellent career prospects in the arts, culture and music, exhibitions and venues, and tourism and hospitality industries.

Event Management roles require 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 events from field trips, attending live events and expert guest speakers.

You will also gain 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, Africa Oye, World Gymnastics Championships 2022, Liverpool International Music Festival (LIMF) and The Good Business Festival all put Liverpool on the map as a big player in the events industry.
