Level 3 Sports students explore broadcasting careers during exclusive visit to Sky Studios

Last week, Capital City College (CCC) students studying for the Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Sports and Exercise Science headed to Sky Studios for an immersive behind‑the‑scenes experience.

The trip took twenty‑three students from our King’s Cross campus inside one of the UK’s leading broadcasting hubs. From professional studios to cutting‑edge editing suites, students explored how sports stories are created, filmed and shared.

Alex Waife, Lecturer in Sports and Public Services at CCC, said: “It was an eventful day for the Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Sports and Exercise Science learners for an educational trip to Sky Studios in association with the Eze Foundation Group. This trip is designed to give learners a first-hand exposure to the professional media and broadcasting environment tailored to sport.” 

Educational trips outside the classroom are part of the students’ course, and the students swapped textbooks for cameras as they went behind the scenes and learned about media and broadcasting in sports as potential career paths.

The visit also helped students explore the range of media careers connected to sport, from production and presenting to storytelling and digital content creation, giving them insight into future pathways they could pursue after college.

Alex added: “During the visit, students had the opportunity to record, edit, and broadcast their report on the impact of wellbeing in sport and exercise science. This experience opens up doors to improve skills and to understand the employability sector they may face in future.”
