Considering an Event Management Degree?University Course vs. Terbell CourseIf you are looking at event management degree courses, you may well be feeling torn between a 3 year university course and a shorter, hands-on course such as those offered by Terbell.This page aims to explain the main differences to help you to choose the course most suited to you. 1. PriceEvent management university courses starting before September 2012 can charge up to £3,375 per year – making a typical 3 year course cost in excess of £10,000. After September 2012, fees are set to rise.Terbell’s diploma courses start at just £1,198.80 (inc. VAT). Whilst student loans are available for degree courses, the Terbell part time diploma course – which is equivalent to Level 1 of a degree, is just a third of the price. The diploma in Event Management is accredited by the Institute of Commercial Management and is well recognised in our industry by employers as being a thorough, practical course. The diploma also gives students the opportunity to network with industry professionals, attend trade shows and benefit from our active student intranet which gives you up to date information on jobs, exhibitions and general help getting into the event industry. 2. Earn as you StudyA full time event management university course will give you little time to hold down a job, other than perhaps some part time evening work. The Terbell part time course demands just two evenings a week of your time for 14 weeks plus some project work. This enables you to hold down a day job as you work towards your chosen career.If you are planning on undertaking a course as a career change or part of a career development plan, then being able to keep the day job could be an important factor. If you have just finished college you may want the freedom (and social life) of being a full time student or you may decide finances come first and be looking to earn as you study. 3. Work experienceUniversities will encourage you to gain work experience, especially during the holidays. They may offer a ‘sandwich year’ – a year spent in employment between the second and third years of your degree. At Terbell, taking on a work placement alongside the course is very much encouraged. We have many industry connections which prove useful when looking for suitable, bespoke internships for students.In these times of recession, employers are looking not only at qualifications but also work experience. Most employers would favour a motivated diploma student who has shown dedication and gained real industry experience with industry references over a university degree without practical knowledge and work experience. 4. TimeA three year event management degree course will take you three years. Which means it will be at least 3 years until you join the workforce of your desired career. This, you may feel is a wise move in the current climate, as in three years the job market may have improved. On the other hand, a 14 week course will give you the knowledge and tools allowing begin working in event management sooner. If you are concerned at the current climate, volunteering is a great way to further improve your skills and gain valuable industry experience.5. Employment ProspectsAfter completing your event management degree London, you will find that there are a huge number of graduates seeking work. Those which stand a good chance of being offered a position in event management are those which have gained some real industry experience. Work experience shows future employers that you know what to expect from a real job and that you are capable of applying what you have learnt in the classroom to real life scenarios. A large percentage of university students forget this and believe that getting a degree from a good university will be enough. However, with so many graduates and so few jobs this very much not the case.Students completing the Terbell course will have had the opportunity to network with industry professionals and gain practical event management skills alongside the theory learnt through real life case studies on the diploma. This fully prepares a student for an event interview giving a potential employer hard evidence of a students’ skills and dedication and in many cases industry testimonials to back them up. 6. What if you change your mind?If you start an events management uni degree but have second thoughts there is usually the possibility of transferring to different events management uni courses or event planning university, or even to complete an event management degree online. It is worth contacting the university you are thinking of moving to. However, this will often require you to start again at year one. Should you decide that university isn’t for you, then you will usually only have to start the repayment of your student loan once you reach the threshold. |
