Danny Wright (BA Sports Journalism)

Catherine O’Connor (Acting Head of the Centre for Journalism)

“The course provides a useful blend of practical and theoretical elements, with lively and engaging teaching methods. The six week work placement is an excellent way to build up contacts and learn firsthand about the work place ahead of graduation. The programme is stimulating and challenging, but above all, is incredibly enjoyable.”

“This is an exciting time to be studying Sports Journalism. The 2012 London Olympics are on the horizon and developments in the news media mean new opportunities are opening up for journalists to create their own niches. At Leeds Trinity, we aim to equip students with the skills and flexibility to respond to these opportunities.”
