Events Management students visit TOCA Social

Events Management students recently had the opportunity to visit TOCA social, gaining invaluable insights into how top-tier venues operate.

BCU Events Management students took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to TOCA Social, the world’s first immersive football dining experience. This experience allowed students to network with management and staff, gaining insight into the daily responsibilities of running a dynamic event space.

BA Events Management student Joe used the visit to familiarise himself with the process of running large scale events. 

"One of the Event Managers here used to attend BCU, she told us how the event runs, how to get the venue ready, and how the general workings of it happen. We can take a lot of that back, alongside the social skills we can use".

For Events Management students, opportunities like this are invaluable. They bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world practice, helping students to develop practical skills, build industry connections, and gain confidence in a fast-paced, professional setting. By visiting venues like TOCA Social, BCU students are better prepared for their future careers, equipped with the insights and experiences that will set them apart in the events industry.

Events Management course leader Libby highlighted the benefits of this experience for the students.

"The events industry is a fun industry and we wanted to make sure students are passionate about events and maintain that passion throughout their degree. One of the best ways to do that is by getting students into event spaces like these".

Studying a BA Events Management degree means students can experience a plethora of different event types. From managing teams to developing your own personal brand, this innovative and on-trend course will give you the skills, experience and insights to develop a career in the growing area of event management alongside a qualification from the CMI.
