About this course
**BA (Hons) Live Events Production will prepare you for an exciting career in live experience and entertainment by introducing you to the technical, design and management areas of live events.**
In your first year, you’ll gain a strong understanding across a range of technical, creative and production management disciplines. In the second year, you will choose two subject areas to focus on. In your third year, you’ll choose just one pathway to specialise in.
With four distinct pathways for you to choose from, you can choose to specialise in the following areas:
- Lighting for live events
- Live sound
- Live visuals
- Event business
Whether you’re interested in lighting a stage, projecting stunning visuals or running an events business, this degree allows you to focus on your chosen subject area whilst developing an underpinning knowledge of all four key areas. You’ll graduate as a specialised yet well rounded live events professional.

The course is regulated by the Office for Students.
Assessment methods
Assessment is by portfolio, group practical, presentation and (where appropriate) a supporting piece of work relevant to the module. All assessments are based around you evidencing your skills and experience, reflecting upon how you are developing both professionally and personally and are a useful tool for you to set goals and targets.
You will also be expected to research methods and practices that are not covered in the module, and to relate and compare these to your learning.
Other work relevant to the module might include a stage design and layout, a festival event plan or perhaps a lighting design and visualisation.
