What the college says

A� Level Media Studies is an exciting course that allows students to study a wide range of media forms. It is now a two year linear course whereby learners study media forms in terms of a theoretical framework which consists of: media language, representation, media industries and audiences. The specification also encourages creative work to enable students to gain a greater appreciation of the media through their own production work and to develop their own production skills. In Year 2 particular, students are given the opportunity to research a topic which will then form the basis for their production, thus encouraging them to create productions informed by an awareness of contemporary media issues. The production must be based on two media forms and completed in response to a choice of briefs set by WJEC.
