Angell Business School in Freiburg (ABSF) has responded to the rapid growth of the global meetings and events industry in Germany by becoming the first, and only, educational establishment in the country to offer a Masters in International Event Management.

Robert Wetterauer, the managing director of ABSF, said: “The demand for professionals of the event industry is urgent. Due to this need, we introduced the Master in International Event Management as the ideal stepping stone for professionals of the event industry.”

The programme is nationally and internationally accredited in cooperation with the University of Brighton, in the UK. The School of Service Management in Brighton, which designed the course has, furthermore, been accredited by the Hotel Catering and International Management Association (HCIMA), Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the World Tourism Organization (WTO).

ABSF also offers a Master in Tourism Management (MA) and the Master in Hospitality (MA) as part-time programmes.

The Master programmes are especially designed for professionals. The courses consist of one monthly weekend study block during the first three semesters and a master thesis in the fourth semester.
