Learning & Teaching
The programme lasts one year if studied full-time (two years if taken on a part-time basis) and consists of three semesters of approximately fifteen weeks each. Study is on a taught basis for the first two semesters. Once students have satisfactorily completed this element they will progress to the dissertation stage for the final semester. Satisfactory completion of the dissertation will result in the award of a Masters degree.
A variety of delivery modes are used to ensure that the learning process is both stimulating and practical. The Core Units are delivered by a combination of mass lectures and seminar group work, while the options are taught in small groups. Assessment in all units is primarily on a continuing basis.

A one year programme, September and January starts.
This programme is currently being validated for first entry in September 2004.
In recognition of the increasing importance of events management within both the business and voluntary sectors, this new programme will develop the broad range of abilities vital for success in this maturing management specialism. Events range in scope, scale and complexity from mega-events to a corporate meeting and cover activities from sport and culture to product launches and fundraising. Events management enables you to combine people skills, travel and creativity with the tangible reward of seeing a project through to completion.
