What the college says

When studying Media Studies, students will analyse and evaluate a variety of media products, and consider a wide range of media theory. Students explore contemporary, diverse topics and learn to develop research skills alongside a focus on independent creativity during the NEA project. Media Studies also offers students the chance to refine their debating skills through the discussion of the ways contemporary issues are presented in the media from a range of perspectives. Media Studies is a diverse and dynamic subject, and can be complemented by many other subjects such as English Language, English Literature, and Sociology.
