Combine business studies with event management and marketing knowledge, gaining the skills to promote, organise and manage events.

Students can take an introductory events management subject along with an introductory marketing subject. Through the event management major, a student develops the skills to plan and organise festivals and community events, as well as develop knowledge of sustainability in event planning and management. The university places a particular focus on developing entrepreneurship skills, which are vital for the promotion and success of professional, sporting, cultural and community events. Through a marketing major students learn how to define and communicate effective marketing strategies and gain an understanding of brands and brand management, advertising and sales promotion. Students also gain the market research skills necessary to find opportunities for successful events. The unique industry Professors of Practice at La Trobe work within this course to improve course curriculum, student learning experience, and engage with industry and business.
