BA (Hons) Sports Journalism University of Winchester

Program Description

Our aim is to equip you for the competitive world of sports journalism - both in front and behind the camera. Our course is accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC) so you know that everything we do is of the highest industry standard. At our state-of-the-art studios you will produce top quality sports journalism content that will rival local and national broadcasters. That might include highlights of local football matches, features on Olympic athletes, or social media content with local and national sports stars. You will learn to create digital content for television, radio, online and social media platforms. Your award-winning teaching team includes international broadcasters, editors, feature writers and documentary makers, with decades of journalism experience at sports organisations like Sky Sports, TNT, beIN SPORTS, and Prime Video. At Winchester you learn by doing, but that vocational learning will be supported by a challenging series of lectures and seminars that include sports media law, investigative journalism and sports documentary making. Our graduates are working in sports newsrooms in every major journalism organisation in the UK and beyond - they're presenting World Cup finals, reporting from F1 paddocks, producing live coverage of Premier League matches and creating compelling social media content.
