Events management 2026 personal statement guide

Whether you want to organise a Taylor Swift concert, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, or a fancy foodie festival, tell admissions tutors what lights you up about a career in events management.

Exhibiting at discovery events

We can help you engage with students at our Discovery events across the decision-making cycle, including events specific to a location, subject or particular audience.

International events

It's a good idea to talk about your higher education options in person. Go to a course provider open day to explore the campus and get insights from staff and students – or take a virtual tour. We also recommend you go to UK events or one of the British Council events around the world. You'll find lots of helpful advice, and can ask any questions you may have.

Open days and events listings

Promote your open days and events on our website to millions of young people and their influencers at key moments in their decision making - they're all actively exploring university options.

Open events

Open days give the perfect opportunity to find out more about your preferred course. Read our top tips to get the most from the day.

UCAS Apprenticeships in Focus event

We were delighted to host our first ever apprenticeships event for employers at ExCel London – thanks to everyone who joined us. Here’s a selection of highlights and the presentations to download. It was great to talk about the work we’re doing with the Department for Education and our vision to become the go-to place to discover, decide and apply for apprenticeships.
