Overview ​Sport is big news and big business, and that means Sports Journalism is about much more than match reports and event coverage. It’s about exploring the stories behind the headlines and understanding the broader context that the sports industry, and the media that cover it, operate in.

Our degree has been designed for people who are passionate about sport and who have a real desire to develop the journalistic skills needed to bring it alive for audiences, help people understand what makes the industry tick and what happens off the sports field, as well as on it.

Additional information

Course Information The multi-media practical strand will equip you with key journalistic skills, including how to source, research and compile news stories and features and how to film stories and put together audio packages. Sports Journalists also need to have a keen understanding of the broader news media and society in which they are working, and this is where our journalism theory strand comes in. The theoretical strand will also give you an understanding of the place sport has in today’s culture, as well as enhancing your knowledge of how the business and social context of sport has developed. There is a strong emphasis on developing a professional portfolio of work and in providing opportunities for you to put journalistic skills into practice, particularly through our News Production Project at the end of the first year and the six-week industry placement in the second year. All our students are offered the opportunity to take up the Diploma in Journalism run by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. The NCTJ exams will incur an additional cost.
