Throughout your studies, you’ll benefit from lectures and seminars in career-relevant issues such as CV preparation, job-hunting and using social media. This course also includes a high level of hands-on experience through your course assignments in planning and executing local or regional events.

Our dedicated placements and employability support team can help you access information that’s directly relevant to your studies. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your strengths and areas for development, and to make plans to enhance your skills and experience in preparation for employment.
