Course content

Course structure

The syllabus of our Sport Journalism degree is based on the material of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism, which covers five main areas:

  • essential public affairs
  • essential media law
  • reporting
  • shorthand
  • portfolio development.

On top of these core elements, you learn skills in digital and multimedia journalism, which are becoming increasingly central to industry practice. You also take a work placement in the final year so you can experience a professional sport journalistic environment.

Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, we will inform you of any improvements or innovations to the curriculum through Student View.

Our journalism courses have moved from our Eastbourne campus to Brighton – see some of the students exploring the industry-standard facilities on offer and hear them talking about what they love about their degrees.

Year 1 

In your first year you’ll gain a thorough introduction to sport journalism, covering areas such as multimedia journalism, news, ethics, shorthand, public administration and the social history of sport.

Modules

  • Introduction to Journalism Studies

    This module will introduce you to key debates in journalism studies. You will develop and apply your understanding of the central concepts and theories in journalism research, and examine journalism practice from a variety of perspectives. You will also develop graduate skills and a capacity for critical thinking and writing.

  • Production Journalism

    This module introduces how to create journalism involving digital production techniques. You will learn how to produce newspaper and magazine pages involving desktop publishing software, and explore the principles of production and the ways in which words and pictures work together in the story-telling process. You will also discover how journalism is adapting its styles, forms and working practices for different platforms.

  • News and Ethics

    This module develops fundamental skills for news reporting: newswriting, ethical practice and shorthand. You will learn to recognise, select and present news for specific audiences and platforms, and learn the techniques required to write publication-standard articles and apply them in defined scenarios. You’ll learn the theory of Teeline shorthand, develop speed to 60wpm and use it in the production of a news story. You'll also learn to locate news reporting practices in the context of specific regulatory and ethical codes.

  • Digital Sport Journalism

    The module will introduce you to social media as part of the professional sports reporter's toolkit. You'll work on practical skills such as live blogging, social media planning and digital audience development, alongside exploring the analytical skills that enable you to measure performance and distribution of content.

  • Sport in Context

    This module explores the contextual knowledge needed to practice sport journalism. What makes sports journalism ‘professional’ is often the ability to place stories in their wider social, political, economic, and cultural contexts. You will explore the nature and dimensions of these contexts, enabling you to provide greater depth and insight to your storytelling experiences. These contexts include knowledge of how professional sport is structured and organised but can also be taken to mean reporting responsibly and sensitively on social issues.

  • The Sport Journalist's Toolkit

    This module will introduce you to the different and varied forms of sports journalism and will enable you to become familiar with the work environment. You will learn about the sports story cycle across newspaper, web and television at local, national and international levels and discover the stylistic and audience dynamics associated with these platforms. You’ll develop your writing ability and will be introduced to longer forms of journalism. You will have the opportunity to cover live sporting events through field trips.

Modules

  • News Portfolio and Shorthand
  • Media Law
  • Team Media
  • Sport Media Studies
  • Sport Reporting
Journalists at a press conference

  • Critical Investigation
  • Live Sports Coverage
  • Politics, Power and the Sport Media
Students in the digital newsroom

Placements 

In your final year, the Professional Practice module will take you out of the classroom and into a media or related environment. You’ll spend at least two weeks with the organisation.

Our employability hub will work with you to find a placement that meets your career aspirations. And we’ll support you leading up to the placement and keep in touch with you and your host during the placement.

As part of your placement you will keep a critically reflective learning log. Work you complete during your placement such as articles for print or web, videos, podcasts and radio or tv broadcasts will go towards your assessment.

The placement will help you understand the nature of the media industries and will enhance your professional practice. It will also enhance your cv and provide you with valuable industry contacts.

We have links with many organisations in the media industry including:

  • The Sun
  • Sky Sports News
  • The Independent
  • Daily Mail
  • The Times
  • The Guardian

Student views  

Jamie Phillips

"The skills I developed and honed at the University of Brighton and through the NCTJ accreditation form a fundamental part of my every day work as a journalist.

"This principally includes having 100wpm shorthand and a detailed knowledge of both criminal and media law, which allow me to cover the country’s biggest court cases and write stories that are read by hundreds of thousands of people.

"Moreover, in an ever-increasingly competitive industry, I cannot stress the importance of having a skillset that sets you apart from your competitors. I know from first-hand experience that NCTJ certificates are looked upon very favourably.

"I am thankful to all lecturers who taught me at the University of Brighton for underlining these sentiments and for paving the way for me to become a multi-award winning journalist."

Jamie Phillips graduated in 2018 and was nominated in 2020 as Trainee of the Year in the NCTJ Excellence Awards.

Adam Powers

"Sportspeople have the best job in the world, but sports journalists are a close second. At the University of Brighton, you learn that through modules which provoke your thoughts on social sporting matters, facilitate your creativity across different platforms, and teach you the fundamentals and laws of journalism - all in equal measure.

"As an inaugural member on the Brighton & Hove Albion apprenticeship, I was able to gain some invaluable industry experience at a Premier League club during my third year. Quizzing top-level managers and players is something not many students have the chance of doing on a regular basis prior to their graduation."

Adam graduated in 2018 and is now a sport journalist at the Daily Express

Maria Hudd 

"I originally chose the Sport Journalism degree at the University of Brighton because it offered the NCTJ qualification, but 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.

"Our lecturers have real-life experience in the industry, which means the lessons and tips they pass onto us are invaluable. Their varied expertise ensures that whichever field you find yourself heading towards, they'll be able to help and advise you every step of the way.

"The Sport Journalism BA has everything you need to get your money’s worth, and it will stand you in great stead for a career in the media industry."
