QuestionMy daughter, who is from the southwest is currently considering her regional options for college, preferably within commuting distance of home. I think she may prosper in a degree course that is a little more practically oriented. Given your daughter’s enjoyment of the practicalities of organising activities, one obvious suggestion is a degree in event management. Event management graduates are working across conferences, sporting events, festivals, arts and culture, corporate events, tourism, weddings and the public sector. There are also post graduate options in event management in Ireland and abroad, including an MSc in event management at TU Dublin, an MBus in cultural event management at IADT, and a new part-time fully online MSc in sustainable tourism and event management from ATU.
