Football business has been transformed by media technology. Understanding the technological changes and business demands of media is the platform on which this joint honours degree develops students' understanding of how diverse media interacts with football business and its surrounding industries. Year 1: The first year of the course will cover the foundations of media communications and how it relates to football business. This will focus on the fundamental requirements of different media and will develop an understanding of managing the relationship between football business and media. Students will have the opportunity to be immersed in practical experiences such as using studios and contributing to websites at local club level. Year 2: The second year develops an understanding of how football's global brands reach their audiences through diverse media. It will also look at how worldwide media use football to enhance their own businesses. Year 3: The third and final year will allow you to focus your skills into a dissertation on a topic chosen by you. In addition to this you will cover modules which will give you a strategic view of international media development.
