Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Sport Journalism

Whether students are passionate about covering Premier League football, the Olympics, Formula One or netball, this course equips students with the skills to build a career in one of the most competitive areas of the media. This course includes an optional work placement year, at no extra cost.

Delivered by professional journalists with top-level experience in TV, radio, print and online, students learn how to file a match report and interview leading athletes, as well as analyze the social, political and economic aspects of the global sport industry. Teesside's practical multimedia and academic ethos means students will be equally comfortable working with words, pictures or audio across all platforms, including social media. Alongside this students develop critical skills to tackle key questions such as doping, corruption and equality in sport.

Students learn by doing, building an impressive portfolio of published work, and have the opportunity to report on live football at Middlesbrough Football Club.
