Open to graduates from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to event management, business management, sport management or hospitality management, our postgraduate course in International Events Management offers a global perspective of managing events to help to prepare you for potential management roles in event planning, promotion, delivery and sales, upon successful completion. We also seek to ensure that upon successful completion you have the skills needed to manage change and respond flexibly to the issues currently facing the events industry.

Careers in event management are diverse and upon successful completion you could work as an event organiser, conference centre manager or event marketing executive. You can also choose to specialise in certain types of events, such as exhibitions and festivals or sporting and cultural events.

The broad set of skills you should have developed, in the areas of business, management, marketing and finance, mean you should be ideally placed, upon successful completion, to move into more general management and marketing within the private, public and voluntary sector.

We will endeavour to give you the support of employability staff who are industry trained, and our well-established Talent Team has staff with an extensive network of employers with a wide range of internship possibilities. The Talent Team, some of whom are dedicated to supporting Coventry Business School students, can also support you with workshops and guidance on the various aspects of the employment process such as preparing your CV, interview practice and mock assessment centres. Please note that staff are subject to change.

Coventry University is committed to preparing you for your future career and giving you a competitive edge in the graduate job market. The University's Talent Team provide a wide range of support services to help you plan and prepare for your career.
