Event Management (BVM)

Event management: practice-oriented and theoretically sound

With an annual turnover of around 80 billion euros and 1.5 million working professionals subject to social insurance contributions, the event industry in Germany is a strong and expanding branch of industry with an international impact. Information and emotions are conveyed at events. The demand for qualified professionals to realise experience-oriented communication offers is increasing. The Bachelor's degree course in Event Management trains students to become event experts who think like entrepreneurs and act creatively. Event management specialists work in the trade fair and congress industry, with tour operators, in the hotel industry, in cultural offices, in advertising and event agencies, in show productions for radio, film, TV or theatre, in corporate communications or as self-employed professionals.

What will I learn?

Our graduates have organisational skills, they are creative and can implement ideas independently. At the same time, they are communicative and team players, have a basic understanding of business and economics, event conception, marketing, event technology and event law. They work in a target group-oriented and topic-specific manner, are networkers and have knowledge of associated disciplines. Their professional activities include basic technical understanding, commercial thinking, media competence and intercultural sensitivity. In elective specialisations such as (1) trade fairs, exhibitions and congresses, (2) sport and leisure, (3) hotel and tourism or (4) art and culture, they have expanded and deepened this knowledge and skills. In a practical phase in the fourth semester, they were able to get first-hand experience of everyday working life for five months. In numerous practical projects during their course as well as during actual work for customers, they put theory they had learned to the test.
