Bachelor of Arts - Business Management and Event Management (NN1V)

The programme combines the multidisciplinary nature of business studies provision together with awareness of the applied logistical and operational elements of event management. During the second and final years of the programme, students will be able to demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills through the conceptual planning, design and implementation of their own events. There is a primary focus on the development of students’ intellectual and practical skills that will support them both as learners and as future managers.

Modules are designed to be active and experiential so that the skills and knowledge students develop can be implemented in realistic settings. By its nature, Business Management is a multi-disciplinary programme that will explore a range of areas. Throughout the degree students will follow subject themes in marketing, people management, finance, and information systems. Students are encouraged to take a placement in the third year of their studies and have the opportunity to undertake a 10 week placement as part of their final year studies.

The programme takes advantage of the enviable opportunities presented by the scale, wealth and diversity of events in the local and regional area. High profile events locally include: Chichester Festivities, Arundel Festival, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, and Bognor Regis International Birdman Competition
