Course summary

The third year of our BA (Hons) course in Live Events Production can also be taken as a standalone qualification.

Following the award of New Degree Awarding Powers (NDAPs), the Academy is reviewing its courses to ensure they remain current, relevant, and aligned with industry and academic standards. As part of this process (called Periodic Review), elements of course content, delivery, or assessment may be updated.

Where any changes may affect your studies, we will provide clear information in advance and offer opportunities for feedback where appropriate.

Our Top Up course will provide an insight into the key issues involved in the strategic organisation of large events, festivals, and touring music. You will investigate how businesses and individuals operate within the sector to provide dynamic solutions. Alongside this, you can progress your choice of specialism in an area of creative technical production or event management. Personal and professional development is emphasised during the course, whilst the modules reinforce the programme’s integration with the industry to provide you with the right skills and attributes for employment across a variety of areas in the live events sector.

The delivery structure of the course is designed to be compatible with students maintaining employment in the sector and provide opportunities to get involved in a diverse range of practical projects, manufacturers’ seminars and visits.

The course is regulated by the Office for Students.

Modules

Assessment method

Generally, assessment is by portfolio and (where appropriate) a supporting piece of work relevant to the module. The portfolio is based around you evidencing your skills and experience, reflecting upon how you are developing both professionally and personally, and is a useful tool for you to set goals and targets. You will also be expected to research methods and practices that are not covered in the module, and to relate and compare these to your learning. Other work relevant to the module might include a report on a particular aspect of the industry.
