The Live Events Production BA (Hons) degree course is an innovative course that introduces you to all the different areas of event production, across all sectors. This course is also available as a 2 year foundation degree.
This course focuses very much upon employability, ensuring that you leave with a broad portfolio of relevant experience, together with the right skills and attitude to work in a safe and responsible manner. You will gain a range of industry-based certificates during the first module, which will equip you with the basic knowledge and skills to make you more employable on events throughout the course, to build on your work experience portfolio. By the end of the first two-years, you will be capable of engaging in a range of creative processes, from design for live music, to brand awareness, dealing with artists or simply managing your client’s expectations, and you will have a good understanding of the various processes and technologies that are used in the industry.
The final year is focused on management and will provide more insight into the key issues involved in the strategic management of large events, festivals and venues. Personal and professional development is emphasised and encouraged during the programme along with employability skills and a commitment to continuing professional development. The modules reinforce the programme’s vocational nature and are designed to teach students to design, develop and deploy management strategies over key areas within the live events sector for a successful event management career.
Professional training on the creative use of entertainment technology will prepare you for a wide variety of roles within the Live Events Industry. A series of 12 modules over the first 2 years will give you strong grounding in a range of technical, creative and production management disciplines. You will learn from industry professionals, have access to training on a wide variety of industry standard equipment and become accredited with a number of industry recognised certifications to increase employability. Work-placement and career development modules are designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience to progress into employment or set you up as a freelancer. You will complete a number of group projects based on typical professional briefs where you will develop teamwork skills. Written reports and research tasks will deepen your knowledge and lay the foundation for progression to further study. During the third year you will cover a range of modules investigating the management of live events and production planning.
