The University of Westminster is one of the UK’s leading providers of events research and education. The University hosts a well regarded MA in Event Design and Management, and a popular BA (Hons) in Tourism and Events. The location of the University in the heart of London means the University of Westminster is well connected to many parts of the events sector. The staff team includes several prominent academics (a professor, a reader and several senior lecturers) who specialise in a range of fields; including outdoor festivals, strategic events creation, sport mega-events, arts festivals, exhibitions and conferences. We also host PhD students focusing on events topics. Staff have produced a range of significant publications including books and journal articles. Several of the staff team combine their academic roles with jobs in the events industry, ensuring Westminster’s courses are strongly connected to the requirements of the events sector.
