Launched at the start of the 17-18 season, the university’s pioneering Premier League Apprenticeship with Albion sees six final-year sport journalism students employed as matchday media assistants at the club.
These students have interviewed high-profile football managers such as Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho while completing their studies.
After a successful launch, the Apprenticeship was renewed into the 18-19 season. In September 2018, the Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯ became Brighton and Hove Albion’s official higher education partner.
Sport Journalism BA(Hons) course leader Owen Evans said: “Reporting from a Premier League press box is beyond the reach of many professional sport journalists, so the fact that our students get the opportunity before they graduate – while being paid for the privilege – is something we’re very proud of.
