On our Sports Journalism degree course, you will study the dynamic worlds of both creative journalism and professional sports. You will explore the power and reach of digital, written and broadcast media, and discover how they shape people’s perceptions and understanding of the fast-paced and everchanging sports industry, including its policies, ethics and controversies. On our course, you will hone your practical journalistic skills and analyse key theories, contexts, practices and emerging trends within the field of sports journalism.
You will be immersed in the world of sports journalism throughout all three years of your studies, and will become an expert in covering the action, interviewing key performers and coaches, writing articles, columns and features, and analysing games, teams, players and trends. You’ll become well-versed on how to broadcast in multiplatform environments and will begin to prepare yourself for a versatile career in sports media, whilst building professional contacts every step of the way.
