MSc Events Management @ BU

The School of Services Management @ Bournemouth University holds the largest Tourist Masters in the UK. We have been at the top for more than a decade and each year we host around 120 students from more than 30 countries. Following the successful launch of the BA (Hons) Events Management in 2005 and the recruitment of a number of staff (including myself) since then, the school launched a MSc in Events Management in 2007. Starting this September I was also made the pathway leader for this Masters.

I am pleased to say that the MSc Events Management is already a tremendous success. This year we saw the number of students growing to 40 (from 23 last year and 13 in the first year), which makes it the largest Events Masters in the UK. The 40 students originate from 17 different countries, with half the students coming from Asian countries (mainly China, Thailand and Taiwan) and the other half from Africa (Kenya) and Europe. The group of students is very enthusiastic, which makes teaching them so much more interesting. I am looking forward to continue working with such an engaged and culturally diverse set of students.
