Our Sports Journalism degree gives you the skills and experience to become a successful multimedia journalist, gathering and delivering stories for online and print. You’ll produce radio and television bulletins and learn contemporary skills such as live text commentary and mobile journalism. Stand out from the competition by taking advantage of our strong industry links to gain experience with professional sports clubs such as Gloucester Rugby, a range of Premier League teams, Cheltenham Town Football Club and Gloucestershire Cricket Club. Recent students have helped make films for the big screen at the Rugby World Cup Fanzone in Gloucester Quays, produced content for BT Sport’s ‘National League Highlights Show’ and reported on the Cheltenham Festival for radio. You’ll draw on the expertise of experienced lecturers, who are award-winning sports journalists with links to news outlets such as the BBC, ITV, TalkSPORT, ‘The Times’, ‘Sun’ and ‘Racing Post’. You’ll also learn from high-profile guest speakers and take advantage of state-of-the-art facilities including fully equipped TV and radio studios, multimedia newsrooms with BBC-standard cameras and Apple iPhone journalism kits.

At University of Gloucestershire, we’ve been encouraging students to meet every ambition since 1847.
