Taught at The UK Centre for Events Management (UKCEM), a global centre for events management education, this integrated foundation year will enable you to transition onto our full BA (Hons) Events Management degree if you don’t have the required UCAS points, preparing you for academic life at university.
As part of your foundation year, you’ll:
- Study four events, tourism and hospitality management related modules - these will introduce you to the subjects included on each of our routes, from tourism principles and practice to customer service experiences

As part of your course, you’ll:
- Create and deliver a diverse range of events from conception through to evaluation
- Learn to manage events staff and suppliers, as well as adhere to licensing requirements
