event management degrees

If it includes a placement, it is better than other arts/humanities/social science degrees which doesnt include a placement. Otherwise, no it isnt a good degree

Hi dirftaway,

so you said if you don't get placement it wont be a good degree can you elaborate please

Its not an academic degree and doesnt give you any specific skills either. Event management is a field where you dont even need a degree, so if you are going to do a degree, do it cause of the placement opportunity. Any degree with work experience is worthwile. Gloucestershire uni is great for event management and they have a one year placement. I would say courses like that are definitely valuable. Event management is all about work experience, not qualifications.

Hi guys, do you guys think that event managementdegrees are waste of time globally, will it be used? I would love to hear different perspectives on this topic.

Hi nulli tertius
Sorry can you explain what you mean when you say managing the rolling stone next farewell tour

The Rolling Stones are a rock group.

They have for at least the last 30 years put on very elaborate stadium shows which therefore require a very high level of backstage management. There is considerable kudos to be gained by managing one of their tour shows.

The members of the Rolling Stones are now elderly and have always been strongly motivated by money. For at least 20 years they have been staging farewell tours but having completed one farewell tour, they are always tempted back by the amount of money to be made on the next farewell tour
