Do I need event experience to apply for the Master in Events Management (MEM021)?

Some relevant experience is strongly preferred because the MEM021 is pitched at strategic and senior delivery level. Candidates without direct events experience may still be considered if their first degree and adjacent work give them strong foundations.

Does this Master cover weddings, corporate and festival events?

The MEM021 treats events as a discipline rather than focusing exclusively on one vertical. Coursework covers MICE-style corporate events, social events at scale, and brand and cultural events, with the analytical tools that apply across them.

How is the Master in Events Management (MEM021) different from a Bachelor in Events Management?

A Bachelor builds foundational skills and is suited to learners early in their career. The MEM021 assumes that base is in place and concentrates on strategy, complex stakeholder management, financial control and senior leadership.

Is there a dissertation or major project?

Postgraduate programmes generally include a major piece of independent research or applied project work. The exact format for your intake is confirmed at enrolment.

How long does the Master usually take?

Duration depends on study mode and intake. Admissions will confirm specifics on application.

How much does the postgraduate programme cost?

Postgraduate tuition fees vary by mode and applicant category. Contact LSTH admissions for current details.
