Delivered over 1.5 years, this postgraduate degree is structured into trimesters and includes a range of coursework units designed to enhance understanding of event strategy, logistics, marketing, and stakeholder management. Students will typically complete a specified number of units, each contributing to the total credit points required for graduation, with opportunities for work-integrated learning through industry-linked projects or placements.

This course is highly practical, often including a capstone project that enables students to apply their learning to real event scenarios, tackling challenges faced by the Australian events sector such as sustainability, risk management, and digital transformation.

Working closely with event industry professionals in Sydney, students gain insights into local and international trends, regulations, and networks crucial to organising successful events in Australia and beyond.

Throughout their studies, students develop essential skills in project management, finance, communication, and leadership, as well as creative problem-solving.
