Master of Arts - Sports Journalism

Scotland’s historic capital city is home to the long-established journalism programme at Edinburgh Napier University. Building on the success of its existing multi-platform courses, the MA Sports Journalism programme specializes in digital storytelling for sports coverage in print, online, and broadcast. The course utilizes the university’s journalism facilities, including its multi-platform digital newsroom and studios for both television and radio.

The sports journalism marketplace has expanded exponentially, driven by technological change, with traditional media being supplemented by web-based publishing, digital radio, and TV. Broadcast sports schedules and print sections have been extended, while new media such as podcasts, video platforms, and websites have contributed to the growth of user-generated content, including fan media.

Students will learn and develop a wide range of practical skills in sports journalism, commentary, and punditry for TV, radio, podcasts, online platforms, and newspapers.

Edinburgh Napier University focuses on employability, and its journalism programme benefits from industry links with media companies and sporting organizations. In addition to being the focus of sports coverage, sports bodies and clubs increasingly employ in-house journalism teams to produce video and written content for their channels.
