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.

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.
