Bachelor of Arts - Event Management Level 6 Top-up (N810)

Ranked 3rd in the UK for personal development on the National Student Survey 2016, the degree has been designed in consultation with event professionals and event organisations to ensure an appropriate balance between the academic context for events and an appreciation of the applied, logistical, business and operational elements of event management. Students will learn from and plan events with event managers who have staged events all over the world; from Hong Kong to Sydney, from Barbados to the USA to the UK.

The event management degree route draws on the skills and expertise of the department's teaching staff who come from a range of disciplines and includes modules in the areas of business management, project management, hospitality, sponsorship, public relations, multi-media marketing and mega-events.

The programme takes advantage of the enviable opportunities presented by the scale, wealth and diversity of events in the local and regional area. The department's close relationship with Goodwood Estates provides the opportunity for its students to work with experts at events such as: Goodwood Members' Meeting, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, and Glorious Goodwood. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake a one-year placement as part of the degree in the third year. The emphasis on practical experience through contact with 'real world' situations is an integral part of the programme.

The BA(Hons) Event Management degree at Chichester is a business based degree that will equip students with the skills to be successful in this very competitive industry.
