Overview & Course Schedule

The Postgraduate Diploma in Event Management is a 6 month course of practical learning and academic study plus a 3 month work placement within the industry.

Planning Event Projects For Real Clients

During your course you will work on three group projects including organising a real live event.

Previous clients include Sadlers Well’s Theatre, asmbl agency, Teenage Cancer Trust, Central Hall Westminster, The Passage & Osea Island.

We invite these organisations to brief students on their event project, asking them to design an event in response to the brief. Working as part of a small team, you will develop creative, marketing, and event solutions to achieve the objective before pitching your idea to the client.

Your final project is a live event to raise money for our chosen charity. Over the last 7 years, The Event Academy students have raised over £200,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust.

3 Month Work Placement

You will have a three month work placement within the events industry to your course.

This is a guided process from start to finish.

Your work placement is an incredible opportunity to apply all the skills and knowledge you have learned in the classroom and demonstrate your value to a prospective employer. It gives you real-life working experience as an event manager to add to your CV as well as helping you to better understand the direction you might want to take your career.

We will help you prepare your CV, teach you how to perform at your best in interviews, and advise you on the type of placement company that will suit you best. Through a series of one-to-one meetings, we will match you to the perfect opportunity that suits your ambitions in the
industry.

Once you are in your placement, we will keep in close contact to guide and support you where necessary.

Jobs Board

You will have the opportunity to volunteer at a variety of events across the industry. Our reputation within the events industry has allowed us access to some of the most exciting events including The Brit Awards, adidas City Run, Secret Cinema, Wilderness and Boardmasters Festivals…

Plus, to help you earn while you learn and develop your experience, we have teamed up with a leading event staffing company that will fast-track our students into jobs that you can fit around your studies.

Throughout the year, opportunities are posted for students on our online student hub. Each time you volunteer at an event you are able to add experience to your CV, create contacts and put your learning into action. 

Careers Board

On completion of your course, you will have access to permanent roles across different industry sectors. These are carefully curated opportunities that candidates can apply for with the support of Nicky Seevaraj – our Head of Career Services.
