Undergraduate

Journalism (Sport Journalism)

UK University

Overview

Journalism (Sport Journalism) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Journalism mixes production work with theory, and the equipment and studio access differ sharply between departments.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
