Become an expert in sports communication with our master's degree with a multisport approach.

With the Master's Degree in Sports Journalism at the UAX Rafa Nadal University School, you will learn about all sports disciplines (football, tennis, motor sports, eSports, basketball...) from a practical and up-to-date perspective. Each sport has its own story and platform, and here you will discover how to tell them. Our 360º programme integrates writing, audiovisual storytelling and digital strategy so that you master both traditional reporting and the latest online trends.

Imagine telling the Davis Cup final or broadcasting a MotoGP match with total confidence and rigour. At UAX Rafa Nadal, you'll do it.

  • The programme connects you directly with sports journalism legends such as Antonio Arenas, Susana Guash and Tomás Roncero, who will guide you through personalised tutorials. Their stories and advice will become your source of inspiration. You will be surrounded by professionals whose experience reflects your aspirations and shows you what you can achieve.
  • Get to know the legal side of sport. You will learn from Senn Ferrero, the world's leading sports law firm. In an exclusive module you will discover how sports agents protect their clients and how to handle crisis situations. It's not just theory: it will be real cases that have surrounded clubs and global stars. So you become a complete professional, able to understand not only the news, but the whole legal context surrounding it.
  • 360° of sports knowledge. Our master's degree covers football, tennis, basketball, motor sports, golf, cycling and eSports, and in each one you will learn to communicate with rigour. You will develop a versatile profile to cover any sport: from a live match to an international event. Our philosophy is that a single perspective is never enough; that's why you'll have several, practising in real scenarios and with the latest digital tools.
  • Master digital communication. With professional radio, TV and streaming studio equipment, you'll put everything you've learned into practice. You'll produce radio and TV programmes, and make the leap to emerging platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. Sports journalism is no longer just about print or TV: you'll know how to create quality content on any channel.
