Football Journalism with Foundation Year

• Study our brand-new curriculum, which has been updated to keep pace with the industry. There are new modules in e-sports, commentary and punditry, data analysis, and more. • Choose many of your modules (from the second year onwards) and focus on an area of football journalism that interests you – such as writing, podcasting, radio, TV, social media, or communications. • Learn from tutors that are experienced and well connected, having worked for organisations like the Premier League, West Bromwich Albion, Wembley Stadium, the BBC, and The Guardian. • Build your experience with the opportunity to work for clubs and other organisations within the game while you study – we’ll use our contacts to help you get your foot in the door. • A high proportion of our students quickly find work in the industry. • 11th for satisfaction with teaching - The Guardian University Guide 2026
