Here's what Academy of Live Technology says about its Live Events Production 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.
Why study at the Academy of Live Technology? Our specialist courses have been developed with careers in mind. You’ll have access to work experience opportunities and award-winning partnerships to help you prepare for the world of work ahead of you.
When you study at the Academy of Live Technology, you’ll learn in a unique creative environment where some of the world’s greatest productions are put together. You’ll be taught by experts who bring their years of industry experience to your learning. You’ll see theory come to life as you get hands-on while you study.
The first two years of this course can also be taken as a foundation degree (FdA), after which there is then the option to carry on to the third year by applying for the BA (Hons) Top-Up.
The course is regulated by the Office for Students.

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.

Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
