“A key strength of SKEMA's MSc Sport, Event & Tourism Management as far as I’m concerned is that the contents of the course material is so closely related to what’s really happening in business.
The field trips, the case studies, the guest lecturers: students are exposed to situations they will have to deal with in real life, once the study is over and business begins.
It’s one of the reasons we as a company regularly take on students from this programme as trainees in our offices. I can wholeheartedly recommend this programme to anyone who wants to prepare for an exciting career in the world of meetings and events."
