This programme is for those with a degree in another subject who want to progress their career into event management. Students will develop specialist skills in planning and management, project management, logistics, and marketing and sponsorship. This programme includes a work placement and research project.

 

What you will learn

All modules in the Graduate Diploma in Event Management are compulsory. Students will study eight modules in total – five focused on event planning and management, project management, logistics and marketing and sponsorship, and one focused on business in the New Zealand context. The final module – BIBM788 Professional Project – includes a work placement and research project, bringing together all that a student has learnt in the classroom.

 

Transfer of Credit

To ensure you have the knowledge and skills to prepare you for BIBM788 Professional Project, a transfer of credit (TOC) will not normally be considered for this programme. In exceptional circumstances any TOC’s will be at the discretion of the CBITE Programme Committee and will not exceed 25% of the programme. Any such consideration for TOC’s should be made no later than two weeks before the start of this programme to allow for your individual programme of study to take any TOC’s granted into account.

 

Applied Work Integrated Learning

Applied Work Integrated Learning (AWIL) is a formal part of the Centre for Business and Enterprise's (CBE) Bachelor of Applied Management degree and Graduate Diploma programmes.

 

In a business student’s final year of study they will undertake AWIL - an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in a real work environment.

 

Due to the limited number of industry partners, only students who achieve a B+ average will have the opportunity to work onsite in a workplace to complete their research.
