Business with Events Management

Business with events management is a combination that gives you both the broad commercial and organisational grounding of a business degree and the specialist knowledge of one of the most dynamic and demanding sectors in the professional world. Events management encompasses the planning, logistics, marketing, and delivery of events across a vast range: from conferences and exhibitions to music festivals, sporting competitions, product launches, and community celebrations. Understanding how to deliver complex, time-critical projects that involve multiple stakeholders, tight budgets, and high public visibility requires a combination of business acumen, project management skill, and operational intelligence.

At Anglia Ruskin University, this three-year accelerated programme compresses a substantial business and events curriculum into a format that keeps your time in study efficient. You will cover the core areas of business, including strategy, marketing, finance, and management, alongside the specialist events management content covering event design, venue management, supplier relationships, regulatory compliance, and audience and client management. The accelerated format suits students who are focused, self-directed, and ready to move quickly through their qualification.

The typical entry tariff is 88 UCAS points.

Graduates work across the events industry in roles spanning event coordination, venue management, conference and exhibition management, festival production, corporate events, and sports events management. The business management dimension also supports careers in marketing, project management, and operations roles in other industries. Many graduates go on to develop their careers in event management companies, in-house corporate events teams, charities, arts organisations, and local authorities, and some go on to postgraduate study in event management, hospitality, tourism, or marketing.
