MSc PGDip PGCert International Events Management

All prospective students must satisfy Cardiff Metropolitan University’s admission requirements for students on master’s courses, as specified in Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Academic Handbook. The normal minimum requirements for entry onto master’s degrees are:

an initial degree awarded by another approved degree awarding body (2:2 or above); or
a non-graduate qualification which is deemed to be of a satisfactory standard for the purpose of postgraduate admission
Students who do not hold such qualifications will be assessed as to their suitability through interview, and where necessary the taking of references. Non-graduates who lack formal qualifications (i.e., formal qualifications which marginally fall short of the normal minimum entry requirements) should be compensated for by his/her relevant work experience provided that such candidates have held, for a minimum of two years, a responsible position which is relevant to the master’s degree to be pursued.
