Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.<br/><br/>Discover the power and reach of digital, written and broadcast media as you gain an introduction into the theories, contexts and practices of modern journalism with an emphasis on sports reporting.<br/>This course examines sports journalism in depth, and has a strong focus on digital media to reflect current and emerging industry trends. You will develop a range of essential skills, including writing and broadcasting in multi- platform environments, which will enhance your versatility and allow you to work in a range of areas within the expanding sports media industry.<br/><br/>We have dedicated journalism newsrooms, and you will be expected to pursue stories and develop contacts away from the classroom to assist with content for assignments and your professional portfolio. Students regularly interview professional athletes and sports stars such as former Liverpool FC and England defender Rob Jones.<br/><br/>Course Opportunities<br/>We are ideally placed for access to a host of football’s Premier League giants and rugby’s Super League heavyweights based in the region, and for racing enthusiasts there is Chester Racecourse. We have strong links with a range of sports clubs including league and non-league football, basketball, cricket and rugby league. Students therefore have extensive opportunities to gain matchday experience and see their work published. In their final year, students work closely with a sports club to produce live and exclusive content.
