BA Events Management with Internship

Cardiff Metropolitan University

Course overview

The BA Events Management programme with Internship (Foundation Year) at Cardiff Metropolitan University is designed to teach students how to organise events, such as concerts, weddings, and corporate meetings, from start to finish. The Foundation Year will provide them with a good background in receiving training on public relations, networking, and project management that would support their full honours degree in events management.

A significant component of the degree is the mandatory internship year, which provides students with the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in a professional environment and gain valuable industry experience. Assessment methods include essays, reports, presentations, event plans, and evaluations of the internship, all designed to measure students' understanding and practical application of the course content.

Upon graduation, students can explore a number of career paths, such as working for event management companies, organising corporate events, or planning charity events.
