The degree

What is the student profile?

This degree is aimed at training sports communicators with a contemporary outlook, capable of analysing, narrating and producing content for multiple platforms.

We combine traditional journalism with new digital languages, offering a unique programme that brings together writing, public speaking, media production, brand development and a deep understanding of the sports world.

The graduate profile is designed for those who wish to work in media, clubs, social networks, communication agencies or their own ventures.

You will learn to create powerful narratives, research sporting contexts, use audiovisual tools and communicate with impact to increasingly demanding audiences.

As a sports journalist, you won't just report: you will interpret, create and connect with a passionate and well-informed audience.
