Sholokhov Moscow State University for the Humanities presents the Master’s Degree Program «Event Management» – the only MICE and Event Services degree program in Russia. It is unique because postgraduates acquire at the same time both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in elaborating and implementing events.
While studying students become members of the PR-Event Team and have the opportunity to take part in activities and different types of events, including those of federal and international significance, and even try hand at being a manager of events. That kind of practice helps to create a base of contractors, entertainers, volunteers and other people needed for the effective implementation of the event. Master’s thesis is a real Event Project which is elaborated and implemented by the student under the mentor’s supervision.
Any event includes several stages of well-organized professional teamwork:
1 – having the general idea, conception, perspective – the whole picture of how this event should be organized and its objectives-
2 – plan making and its detailed elaboration in all directions: content, finance, logistics (provision, transport, supplies), personnel, security, PR&-GR, IT-support, territorial works, etc.-
3 – bringing all integral parts together, so that the event would take place according to the plan-
4 – compounding the results and eliminating the effects.
