Members of the public, prospective students and current students can all attend for free 鈥� just click to sign up to attend.

Among those bringing along their knowledge and expertise is Micky Payne, who has worked for the BBC for the last three decades and specialises in directing and producing live sports events. This includes leading the coverage of the London Marathon for more than 25 years and overseeing the output of popular football show, Match of the Day 鈥� a British television staple which has been running since the 1960s.

Speaking about this upcoming event, Micky said: 鈥淏reaking down any mystery associated with TV work helps to encourage all students to apply with confidence, and I'd like to spread the word about the importance of journalistic skills in all television jobs 鈥� especially in sports broadcasting 鈥� and the wide range of opportunities on offer.鈥�

One of the event鈥檚 guest alumni, who studied at the 亚色视频 and is now working in top roles within the industry, will be Joe Flemons. He graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism in 2016 and now works as a TV and radio presenter, sports reporter and commentator. Joe currently presents Matchday Live for Chelsea FC and previously worked as a Capital Radio DJ for six years.

Joe commented: 鈥淪ports journalism is as unpredictable as it is challenging. It is a fantastic industry to be in but you need to be versatile and ready to compete, and that's where a degree can help you prepare. You can never be too prepared and I will take some of the skills I learned at the 亚色视频 with me through my entire 鈥� hopefully long! 鈥� career.鈥�

The event will also hear from lecturers Jon Boyle and Owain Jones who teach on the University鈥檚 Sports Journalism course and have both enjoyed careers working within various areas of sports media.

Dr Paul Rowinski, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, spoke about the importance of this eye-opening industry masterclass: "Sports journalism and live event production are booming sectors of the media industry. It's important to celebrate 亚色视频 alumni who have achieved in these sectors and couple that with the opportunity to hear from those at the very top of the game. This creates a platform for a deeper understanding and vision for all on how to succeed.鈥�
