Advanced GCE in Media Studies
at Chipping Campden School, Chipping Campden · school or sixth form
What the college says
The course aims to foster an understanding of media products, the practices which lead to their production, the institutions in which they are produced and the audiences who consume them. Students will be given the opportunity to work with media technologies in imaginative and inventive ways. Prior study of the media is helpful but not essential. Clearly, an interest in the mass media will be important, but creative flair, good I.T. skills and experience in the Creative Arts (Music, Drama, Art) would be a definite advantage.
