Other information

Event management has become rapidly more professional over recent years. This has been fuelled by, among other things, growth in the size and complexity of events being conducted in Australia and the realisation by organisations that events are powerful communication tools.

The broad aim of the Event Management program is to develop knowledge, understanding and professional management skills relevant to the organisation, planning, marketing and operation of various forms of events both in an Australian and international context. Graduates of this program possess a range of applied capacities and skills that enhance their professional competence, personal development and ability to engage in critical thinking.

The Event Management program offers a combination of core subjects dealing with the areas of event creation, event management, venue management, event marketing, law, accounting and research, together with subjects that provide a theoretical understanding of the environment in which event managers operate. Participants in this program also have the opportunity to explore areas of particular interest through elective subjects.

Course aims

The Graduate Certificate in Event Management is designed to introduce participants to the events field and develop their skills and knowledge relating to the management of various event forms. Subjects focus on the core skills and knowledge associated with event creation, operations and marketing. Additionally, participants are introduced to key theoretical concepts and issues impacting upon the management of events.

The Graduate Diploma in Event Management is designed to develop high level management skills and knowledge sufficient to allow students to manage, or play a significant role in the management of large scale events.

The Master of Management in Event Management provides students with a means of developing high level management skills and knowledge specific to the field of event management, as well as the opportunity to develop advanced research skills through the completion of two research subjects and a substantial industry-based research project.
