What the college says

Media Studies A Level is a fascinating course that will help you think about all the media texts that you use in a new and more critical way. The subject involves the close analysis of the images, sounds and text that we experience via the media and the messages and values that they convey. It is the study of individual media texts (TV programmes, magazines, newspapers, video games, film marketing materials and music videos) and, on a wider scale, you will be required to question how the media impacts upon contemporary society. It also enables you to develop some practical skills applicable to a range of careers.
