Course Details

On the BA (Hons) Sports Journalism degree, students will learn what few journalists know about sport and what few sportsmen ever appreciate about journalism.

The course has a strong multi-disciplinary structure. It covers key issues relating to the application of journalism to sport. When supplemented with appropriate vocational experience, the graduate will be equipped to deliver quality copy and presentations within designated deadlines.

Students will receive a rounded education designed to enhance their journalistic abilities and sporting profile. The ability to pursue vocational qualifications gives graduates both academic and sports-related strengths.
