Master in Strategic Events Management

Strategic value creation

Events offer enjoyment, inspiration, and engagement, and generate economic, social, cultural and strategic value. How can you use all these benefits to approach events as strategic tools, enhancing both the event itself and its impact? In this part-time master in event management, you will learn how to design, personalise and deliver engaging experiences. Because you are already working in the events industry, you can apply the knowledge acquired directly in your professional work and see the benefits of the new approach.

The concept of Strategic Value Creation is at the heart of the programme. Within our learning community, you will work on a final graduation challenge which is relevant to the professional context you operate.
