When I started my degree, I never imagined I’d be working part-time for a local newspaper – the Eastbourne Herald - in only my second year, but it’s thanks to the work placement and continued support that this course offers that I am able to do so.
Professional qualification and more
I originally chose the Sport Journalism degree at the University of Brighton because it offered the NCTJ qualification but, since being here, the course has given me so much more. I know I will leave with a repertoire of knowledge beyond just sport journalism, including politics, law and multimedia skills.
Industry expertise
Our lecturers have real-life experience in the industry we aspire to be in. Their work varies from tabloid to broadsheet which means the lessons and tips they pass onto us are invaluable. With their varied expertise, it ensures that whichever field you find yourself heading towards, they’ll be able to help and advise you every step of the way.
Your money's worth
The Eastbourne campus has all the facilities I’ve ever needed, and then some. The sports facilities are exceptional and there’s a team or sport here for everyone to enjoy and have a go at. The Sport Journalism BA(Hons) has everything you need, and more, to get your money’s worth out of a degree and stand you in great stead for a career in the media industry.
