I wanted to study Event Management because of the
originality of the course. I wanted to do a course that had a hands on approach and constantly tested my skills and knowledge of the industry. Upon my interview
for the course I automatically got a warm welcome from the head of the course Rod Train and I made my mind up there and then that this is the course I would like to
study at UCLan.
I chose to study at UCLan do to the accessibility of the
university. With most universities everything is segregated, meaning that the
accommodation and university buildings aren’t in close proximity to each other. This
isn’t the case at UCLan, my halls of residence was only a 5 minute walk to most
of the buildings. It was extremely close to the train station. The variety of onsite services available were also a deciding factor
for me. There is a campus doctors, dentist, 24 hour library, gym and even a
Starbucks which is always handy.
I managed to secure a job a month prior to graduating, working
for UCLan themselves. Initially I started out on the Events Team assisting them
with the DS16 degree shows and the Lancashire Science Festival. A month into
the role a position opened up within the marketing team which I applied for and
managed to secure the job.
