POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA AND HIGHER DIPLOMA IN EVENT, SPORT & ENTERTAINMENT

The Event, Sport and Entertainment (ESE) postgraduate program prepares students to start new careers in event management, sport management or entertainment management, building upon a degree or work experience from another field. The tailor-made course structure allows students to develop event management skills, and entertainment industry knowledge with a career-building approach. It is ideally located in Switzerland, the home of many large sports organizations like the UEFA and the International Olympic Committee and host to numerous international events every year.
