[BUC] Glittering in The Exciting World of Events Management

BERJAYA University College’s (BUC) event management programmes prepare graduates to become specialists in planning and executing a range of routine and complex events.

The events industry is booming and expected to see even further growth in the coming years. Gone are the days when events were limited to private gatherings and small conferences. Today events have since grown into larger-scale events such as festivals, ceremonies, concerts, conventions, book launches, promotions and product launches, trade fairs and theatre performances.

Event management professionals are responsible for planning and managing the overall event, ensuring a smooth and successful event. The process includes planning for the event, developing a master plan, handling logistics, identifying stakeholders, delegating responsibilities, time management, financial management, risk management, marketing and executing publicity campaigns whilst ensuring that the goals and objectives of all the stakeholders are met.

Hence, BERJAYA University College (BUC) is offering the Diploma in Events Management (DEV) and Bachelor of Events Management (Hons) programme to equip students with the specific knowledge and skills needed in managing various types of events to become professional event planners who can execute complex events.
