BA (Hons) Sports Journalism University of Central Lancashire

Program Description

This practical, hands-on course focuses on making sure you get the job of your dreams at the end of it. We work closely with industry and in the first year you will be given the opportunity to write for a professional sports website (Prost International) and get access to Premier League, Women’s Super League, and Football League games. A second year student will spend two weeks all-expenses work placement at Chelsea Football Club. In the third year we work closely with major web company Planet Sport, which takes on many of our students and gives them the opportunity to impress – which can lead to a job covering sports like football, Formula 1 and golf after graduation. We also work closely with the UK’s biggest media organisation Reach, football clubs such as Preston, Burnley, Bolton and Fleetwood, and other major sporting bodies, to ensure you get the chance to gain vital experience while still a student.
