Description:

A master's degree with a practical focus, designed and delivered by sports broadcast industry professionals to create practitioners of Sport Broadcast and prepare them to be industry ready for employment in sport broadcast journalism and across the sport media industry. The master's degree course has been written in collaboration with sport broadcast journalists from the BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and the Broadcast Journalism Training Council who will make their final accreditation visit in 2019. We teach traditional broadcast journalism for the digital, new media age.

Students will develop and master a wide spectrum of broadcast journalism production skills, learn to self-shoot and edit, record and produce audio, create digital content while sharpening their journalistic instinct, news values and editorial judgment. They will critically examine the reciprocal relationship between socio-political issues, modern media coverage and professional sport. Students will also study elements of media law, and analyse how ethics, a sense of fairness, impartiality, accuracy and a robust knowledge of regulations and rights play a crucial part in operating within the modern fast-changing sport broadcasting landscape.
