No matter what the event – corporate, sporting, entertainment or otherwise – this programme, run wholly online, provides the knowledge and skills to make it a successful one.

Underpinned by project management, marketing and public relations principles, the Online Diploma in Event Management & PR takes students through identifying and planning the right event through to delivering it successfully on the day.

Anyone who sets about organising an event faces a myriad of logistical, financial, operational and communications challenges. The programme was developed in response to these challenges, and the aim is to provide a structured approach to planning and managing events that reduces pressure on the event organiser and produces a better quality event.

On completion of this online programme, students should have acquired the skills to:

• Identify and develop an event that can succeed in the prevailing socio-economic conditions

• Develop robust plans for before, during and after the event

• Build an appropriate team, whether paid or unpaid, and budget for their event

• Develop a marketing strategy and plan that will attract both event participants and sponsors

• Communicate successfully with all stakeholders using public relations knowledge and  techniques

• Understand the safety, risk and emergency planning requirements for events

• Manage all aspects of an event operation, such as transport, crowd management, logistics or communications.
