Graduate Diploma in Event Management

About the programme

Are you organised and good at planning parties and informative events? Do you enjoy tackling a new challenge and having a job where every day is different?

You could be suited for a career in event management. Undertake this programme and get all the skills you need to plan, organise, promote and run events, conferences, and functions for a variety of organisations, communities, groups, and individuals. Learn from highly experienced staff who are industry professionals with a wealth of knowledge and a passion for teaching.

Build on your existing qualifications and skills, and graduate in only a year, without having to complete a full degree.

Then step into the industry and make your mark! One day you could be organising an international music or sports event, the next you could be coordinating a professional conference or charity ball. Chances of getting work as an event manager are good as demand is strong.
