What the college says

Media Studies at A level offers students the opportunity to consider critically a variety of media texts, from moving image, digital, web-based (e-media) and print and produce their own media products, such as film trailers and websites. It suits those who have enjoyed the study of English and Media at GCSE and can be a good choice with subjects such as English, Law, Politics, Psychology and History or with subjects such as Science, Maths and Technology to provide breadth in Year Twelve. It develops understanding and enjoyment of a variety of media products, as well as an understanding of the increasing role the media play in modern life. It also develops the ability to analyse and to argue a case. It is valuable for those thinking of degrees in Arts-based subjects and for careers in the media industry, the law, marketing, public relations and publishing.
