Course summary

Sport is a world full of moving stories of human drama, joy and pain. Discover how to tell them, on the best sports journalism course in the UK (based on 2020 National Student Survey). This practical, hands-on course focuses on making sure you get the job of your dreams at the end of it. We work closely with industry and in the first year you will be given the opportunity to write for a professional sports website (Prost International) and get access to Premier League, Womens Super League, and Football League games. A second year student will spend two weeks all-expenses work placement at Chelsea Football Club. In the third year we work closely with major web company Planet Sport, which takes on many of our students and gives them the opportunity to impress – which can lead to a job covering sports like football, Formula 1 and golf after graduation. We also work closely with the UKs biggest media organisation Reach, football clubs such as Preston, Burnley, Bolton and Fleetwood, and other major sporting bodies, to ensure you get the chance to gain vital experience while still a student. Journalism is, in a nutshell, telling stories and we teach you how to do that in a variety of ways, from written to TV, podcasts to digital video, social media to magazines. Youll not only learn how to operate as a sports journalist, with the personal and technical skills a professional journalist needs, but youll also study a range of issues in sport – exploring its development into a multi-million-pound industry.
