FdSc Event Production

About this course

Event production is the discipline of planning, coordinating, and delivering live experiences, from concerts, festivals, and sporting events to corporate conferences and public celebrations. It is a field that requires both creative vision and logistical precision, bringing together technical production knowledge, project management, supplier relationships, budgeting, and the ability to manage complex operations under pressure in real time. Events are among the most powerful ways that organisations and communities communicate, celebrate, and connect, and the professionals who produce them need a combination of skills that is both broad and practically grounded. At Nottingham Trent University, this two-year BSc is designed specifically for those who want to forge a career in the live event production industry. You will develop the technical knowledge and production management skills needed to plan and deliver events across a range of formats and scales, covering areas such as staging and rigging, audio-visual production, event logistics, health and safety, project management, and client and supplier management. NTU's strong connections to Nottingham's vibrant events and entertainment scene give the degree direct links to the industry, and the two-year structure makes it a focused and efficient route into the sector. The two-year duration means you will enter the job market more quickly than graduates from longer programmes, and the programme's applied emphasis ensures that you graduate with practical skills and industry knowledge ready to deploy in your first role. Graduates from event production degrees move into roles as production managers, technical event producers, venue operations staff, tour managers, festival production coordinators, and events managers across the music, sport, corporate, and cultural events sectors. Many build careers as freelancers, working across multiple clients and events. Postgraduate study in events management or production is available for those who wish to develop their expertise further.
