2011 University Courses for Exhibitions or Events Management

Events management is an extremely competitive field and if you want to get into any part of this industry (including Exhibitions Management), having recognised qualifications in this field will give you a much greater opportunity. Below are some of the university and college courses available in 2011.

BSC Honours Events Management - This is the text book degree course for somebody looking to move into events management. There are a whole host of universities which offer this course meaning that everybody with good A Levels or equivalent should be able to secure a place. This is generally a three year course which covers all aspects of management and relates it to events, as well as featuring event specific modules which will differ with each institution. Sheffield and Plymouth Universities both offer this course.

MA Events & Exhibition Management - This is a masters course which is generally open to those who have completed an undergraduate degree, although not necessarily in the same field. Entry requirements will differ with each institution. For this qualification the student will look at the key areas in more depth and be expected to produce high level papers.

Hospitality and Event Management FdA - Hospitality and events management are two areas which overlap in many respects, so studying both is an attractive prospect for many. One argument for opting for this course is that the student will cover a broader width of subjects, whilst other s will argue that the student will have a less comprehensive knowledge of each area than if they studied them specifically.

Events Management Foundation Degree - A foundation degree will appeal to those who want a higher education degree but may not have the confidence, academic prowess or the funding to complete a full degree course. Entry requirements are generally lower for foundation degrees.

Diploma in Event Management - Level 3 - Level 3 is the equivalent to A level in terms of the level of learning. Diplomas, however, are more vocational than as their A level cousins and not as academic. This is a suitable course for those who know what they want to do early on, or for those who want a course which feeds naturally into a degree course in the same area.
