Introduction
The course is designed to expose students to best practice, current issues, and emerging trends in event management. Industry experts are engaged throughout course and assessment design and subject delivery to ensure the integration of real-world practice against cutting edge theory. Research-inspired course content is delivered by world-leading academics and industry partners. The course strongly focuses on professional practice, including two innovative capstone subjects – Industry Research Project or Internship Experience – which allow students to work on or with contemporary industry issues and opportunities.
The course aims to produce graduates with advanced knowledge and skill sets in the specialist area of event management. In addition, high-level general management competencies needed to develop or manage complex organisations involved in the production of public, corporate or other event types are developed. Elective subject choices provide students an opportunity to specialise more deeply in event management and related fields and further enhance students' management skills, professional practice, specialist knowledge and capabilities. Course structures include a suggested list of elective options for students to assist their choice and to identify allied or complementary subjects to the event management field.
