BSc Event Production CCT
About this course
Event production is the discipline concerned with the planning, management, and delivery of live experiences, from music festivals and theatrical performances to conferences, sporting events, and brand activations. It sits at the intersection of creative vision and logistical precision, requiring both the ability to conceptualise compelling experiences and the operational rigour to bring them to life safely, on schedule, and within budget. The CCT designation indicates a focus on creative, cultural, and technical dimensions of the field, reflecting the full complexity of professional event work. This three-year full-time programme at Nottingham Trent University develops your understanding of event design, production management, technical systems including sound, lighting, and staging, audience safety and crowd management, supplier relationships, and the regulatory frameworks that govern public events. You will work on live productions throughout the programme, gaining direct experience of the challenges and satisfactions of event delivery at a professional standard. NTU has strong industry connections and a track record of embedding students in real event contexts, which is essential in a discipline where practical experience is as important as theoretical understanding. Graduates from this programme pursue careers in festival and event production, concert promotion and touring, conference and corporate event management, theatre production, sports event management, and technical event services. Many work for production companies, venues, festivals, agencies, and corporate event teams. The creative and technical breadth of the programme opens roles across the full range of the live events industry. Some graduates go on to specialise in specific technical areas such as lighting design, audio engineering, or stage management, while others develop careers in event strategy and client services. Further study in event management, arts administration, or production management is available for those who want to develop their expertise.
