BA (Hons) Sports Journalism

Leeds Trinity University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Do you want to develop journalistic skills to bring the sport to life for audiences, and help people understand what makes the industry tick and what happens off the sports field, as well as on it?

Sports Journalism is about much more than match reports and events coverage. It’s about unearthing the stories behind the headlines and understanding the broader context that the sports industry operates.
