Why Study Media?
In a world that is now more media reliant than ever and where media is an increasingly manipulative tool (fake new, Cambridge Analytica, Trump, Facebook etc). It is imperative that young people are educated in Media Studies. This exciting and vibrant course offers students the opportunity to study all areas of the Media including film, radio, magazines, music videos, newspapers, advertising, marketing, video games, TV, and online Media. Students will learn to critically analyse texts from each industry area and also create texts for the NEA controlled assessment unit, developing skills learned and putting them into practice.
A level Media allows students to learn transferable skills that would be invaluable in any professional career or further education route of study and attain ability to explore, analyse and evaluate information and successfully communicate complex ideas.
