Rugby icon Keith Wood, Irish Examiner sports Editor Tony Leen and RTE sports presenter Jacqui Hurley are among the top sports media industry figures who are involved in delivering the new MA in Journalism, Sport programme which gets underway in September 2019.

As well as a number of journalism practice modules already offered on the long-running MA in Journalism course, the sports pathway offers new modules on Sports Writing, Sports Communications, Sports Broadcasting and the Sociology of Sport.

Course leader Dr Fergal Quinn said he hoped the new offering would give a clearer pathway for people who are passionate about sports journalism and would like to learn more about all facets of it.

“This course is the first of its kind in the country and It is the first step in making UL a centre of excellence for learning about all facets of sports journalism and contributing to the future of the industry.

“We have always had lots of students on our regular BA and MA in Journalism that wanted to do more sports related subjects and this caters for them specifically. We are also delighted to partner with prominent industry figures like Tony, Keith and Jacqui in doing so.”
