T​his master's degree with a practical focus, is designed and delivered by sports broadcast industry professionals to create practitioners of Sport Broadcast and prepare them to be ''industry ready'' for employment in sport broadcast journalism and right across the sport media industry. The master's degree course has been written in collaboration with sport broadcast journalists from the BBC, ITV, and Sky Sports. We teach traditional sports broadcast journalism for the digital, new media age. Emphasis is given to live event production, broadcast news journalism and multi-platform digital storytelling. Students will develop and master a wide spectrum of broadcast journalism production skills, learn to self-shoot and edit, record and produce audio, create digital content while sharpening their journalistic instinct, news values and editorial judgment. They will critically examine the reciprocal relationship between socio-political issues, modern media coverage and professional sport. Students will also study media law, and analyse how ethics, a sense of fairness, impartiality, accuracy and a robust knowledge of regulations and rights play a crucial part in operating within the modern fast-changing sport broadcasting landscape. The inclusion of a significant work placement module (60 credits) in this sports broadcast journalism degree offers the opportunity to work in our internal broadcast unit across the academic year creating video and audio content for Cardiff Met Sport TV, producing our weekly podcasts, highlights and live TV sports shows, holding press conferences and livestreaming university sports matches. This module also provides a second placement opportunity with one of our external broadcast partners. We have placement opportunities with all the major broadcasters and production companies in Wales and further afield for students who are prepared to travel these include a number of Welsh medium placement opportunities.
