Description:

Sport is a world full of moving stories of human drama, joy and pain. Discover how to tell them, on our outstanding sports journalism course. On our practical, hands-on BA (Hons) Sports Journalism degree we focus on helping you secure the job of your dreams when you graduate. Journalism is, in a nutshell, about telling stories and we’ll teach you how to do this in a variety of ways. From written news reports to television broadcasts, podcasts to digital video, magazines to social media. We offer one of only a few sports journalism courses in the UK which are accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC), who are partners with the BBC and Sky. We also pay for you to sit your National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) exams. This makes us the only sports journalism course in the country which enables you to graduate with both the BJTC and NCTJ qualifications. On this course you’ll not only learn how to operate as a sports reporter, with all the personal and technical skills a professional journalist needs. You’ll also study a range of issues in sport, exploring its development into a multi-billion-pound industry.
