What the college says

As a GCE Media Studies student, you will analyse how media products use language and representations to create meaning. You will learn about the media industry and how the industry affects how media products are made. You will investigate media audiences, explore who are the people who watch, read and consume the products and consider how different people might respond to products differently, and why. ​ ​You will explore and apply critical perspectives, including those of world-renowned media and cultural theorists, and will examine how social, historical, political and economic contexts affect media production.​ ​You will also have the opportunity to apply what you have learnt through the production of your own media texts, exploring and creating media forms such as music videos, magazines, television, websites and film marketing​.
