The events industry is typically worth over £40 billion to the UK economy. Abertay’s BA (Hons) Business Management with Events Management is delivered within the School of Business, Law and Social Sciences. In addition to business management skills, you will learn how to organise, market, budget for and execute business events.

You will learn the complexities of modern business and the underpinning knowledge and analytical skills to develop and implement solutions to their challenges. The degree will prepare you whether your ambitions lie in a management career or starting your own business.
This highly practical programme puts employment front and centre. You will learn how businesses operate in the real world through expert guest speakers, projects tackling real-life business problems and off-site visits. You will work on projects with nationwide organisations such as the IBM Business Challenge and be encouraged to undertake a work placement and overseas study opportunity to broaden your horizons.
