Location of Glasgow Caledonian University
The international events environment has witnessed both phenomenal growth and significant change in recent years.
These dynamic changes call for focused and innovative professionals who understand how to develop, market and manage within the local, national and international events arena. The MSc International Events Management is grounded in the live practice of international events.
Driven by international case studies, including the World Cup, Mardi Gras, Formula One and Glastonbury, this programme is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge, critical capabilities and strategic skills essential to the field of international events.
Practice is embedded throughout the curriculum to allow students to gain an understanding and appreciate the complex workings of this industry.
The programme is delivered full-time over one year on campus at GCU's centrally-located campus, or is available part-time over two years delivered via the innovative blended mode of learning which combines distance learning with attendance at four intensive teaching weekends per year.
