What the college says

Media students are interested in how and why the media is so influential and dominant in our culture. In a world that is increasingly reliant on technology - and media technology in particular - it is essential for young people to be equipped with the theoretical and analytical tools both to understand how the media industry works, and to skill-up and participate in the 'dialogue' by creating their own products and distributing them to real audiences. Media Studies as a subject works well alongside Theatre Studies, ICT, English, Sociology or Music. Some St Peter's students are currently employed in production and post-production companies.
