Master of Arts - Sports Journalism

Students will be challenged to create content for their favoured sports including cricket, rugby, football, golf, tennis, cycling, boxing, MMA and global sports of their choosing, across their period of study.

This content will be assessed within modules, but will also then be tailored to deliver maximum impact through their portfolios, showreels and future job applications. Students can expect to learn the practical application of law and regulation in journalism as well as ethics. Sports Journalism MA students will learn how to tell stories in writing, on video, audio and for social media. Students will focus on storytelling in ways that both inform and entertain. Students will be encouraged to be ambitious, informed and efficient media practitioners who can add value to any digital platform, newsroom or media organisation. Additionally, students will be expected to produce professional standard material through a succession of news days which are supported by the 'Journalism Essentials' sessions and are spread across the modules.
