Sports Journalism - CertHE

University Academy 92 (UA92)

Learn how to craft compelling sports stories and get them heard with our 1-year Sports Journalism Cert HE courses, equivalent to the first year of a degree. Reflect on your own media usage and explore how journalism can change the way people think and behave. Explore different approaches to media production and work collaboratively to produce your own magazine, podcast, or documentary. Develop key practical skills using cameras, audio equipment, and editing software to display work online. Understand what it’s like to be a journalist in today’s sporting world and get to grips with ethical and professional standards.

The Cert HE course is the perfect stepping stone to a full sports journalism degree. If you pass the Cert HE successfully, you will be eligible to apply for the second year of the 3-year degree programme. If you choose to leave after the 1-year Cert HE, you’ll walk away with a valuable Level 4 qualification which will support your job applications in the sector. Whether you dream of becoming a broadcast journalist, news editor, TV producer, content creator, copywriter or public relations officer, you’re on the right path. Alongside your course modules, you will engage with the 92 Programme, which is built into every degree and tailored to each subject area.

Through taught sessions, immersive experiences and coaching, you will build confidence, resilience, wellness, self-reflection and professionalism, skills designed to support your future success.
