If you have a passion for sport and writing, this specialist course gives you a head start working in sports journalism and related careers.
This course aims to provide you with the professional skills and knowledge required for a career in sports journalism and sports media.
You will learn how to research, write and present sports-based news, commentary and features to a high standard across print, online and broadcast platforms.
You will also develop an understanding of sports media and the ethical, legal and regulatory context in which sports journalists work.

Overseas applicants from countries whose first language is not English must normally produce evidence of competence in English. An IELTS score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all skills (or equivalent) is the standard for non-native speakers of English. If your English language skill is currently below an IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills we recommend you consider a Sheffield Hallam University Pre-sessional English course which will enable you to achieve an equivalent English level.
You may also be considered if you do not hold a degree but can provide evidence of relevant professional experience.

• have a diversity of backgrounds
• are considering a career in journalism
• show the required aptitude and potential
We base our selection criteria on your relevant experience and potential for development. Previous experience of journalism is preferable, but not necessary.
