Overview
We list Events Management MSc because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Events Management balances finance, strategy and people management so you are not locked into one path. We currently work with 35 universities on this course across 29 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £16.000 to £34.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
