What the college says

Exam Board – Edexcel Course Outline Media and communications are among the world’s largest industries and have huge influence not only on personal opinions but also in shaping international and government policy. A key aim of this course is to make students “media literate” so that they are able to critically question and analyse what they see on television, films, radio, newspapers and magazines. Students not only explore the range, purpose and impact of the media but also develop their own practical skills in a range of technologies. Amongst other practical tasks, students will create their own TV or radio broadcasts, as well as producing online media materials, such as blogs, viral adverts and web pages.
