If you are looking to learn the skills and processes of a journalist and relate them to the coverage of sport, this course will be the perfect stepping stone to a sports specialist position in the media or communications industries.

As well as the development of practical skills in print, online, radio and TV reporting, you will also study sport so that you become knowledgeable about its structure, evolution and organisation. Creativity is emphasised throughout, and after a final year which allows you to personalise your programme to suit your career aspirations, you will be equipped to deliver quality copy, presentations and broadcast packages within designated deadlines.
