An MBA in Event Management is usually better if you want to move into management or leadership roles in the event industry, as it combines business skills with event planning and often requires some work experience. It’s focused on strategic and managerial skills.

An MSc in Event Management is better if you prefer a specialized, research-oriented program focused on the technical and theoretical aspects of events. MScs usually don’t require work experience and emphasize analytical skills.

Since you have a background in Media, choose an MBA for broader leadership opportunities, or an MSc for deeper specialization. Admission requirements and program lengths vary by university and are subject to change.
