Course content

An industry that inspires creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, the opportunities available in the events management world are limitless.

Across the UK and internationally, demand for well trained events staff is exceptionally high. From small scale corporate events to festivals and concerts with tens of thousands of attendees, the need for professionals with a strong educational background within the events space is always there. This programme is designed to reflect the increasing cultural and geographical diversity of the events industry.
As a global industry, the events sector is driven by human connection and personalisation, relying on the experiences its workforce can deliver and the memories its customers create. To be a leader, you'll need the confidence to manage everything thrown at you in an industry where no two days are the same.
The MSc International Events Management course at the Edge Hotel School will prepare our students to take up middle-management roles across the events industry in places such as cruise ships, airlines, events and visitor attractions, or travel and holiday organisations.
