Course Overview

BA/BSc (Hons) Events & Festivals Management will give you the insight and skills to run exciting events for any purpose, scale, or budget. There are thousands of events that need organizing - whether it's a local charity fundraiser, a music festival, a business conference, a convention, or a sporting event. This is a vibrant, dynamic sector, global in its scope, that demands adaptability and quick thinking. Taught at our Business School for the Creative Industries at UCA Epsom, this course will guide you through how to create an event, from the initial concept through to the organization and curation of the participant's experience, and on to the final staging. You will learn about planning, venue choice, programming, equipment, experience design, and the important role played by food and drink. In addition, you'll learn how to set budgets, analyze data, comply with health and safety regulations and evaluate environmental concerns.
