Media Studies

Media Studies is a dynamic subject which has both theoretical and practical elements. It is compatible with many Key Stage 4 and Post-16 subjects. The course gives students the opportunity to look at the role of the media and enabling them to explore and analyse how the different forms of media are put together, who owns and controls it and the impact that the media has in their own lives and the world around them. The practical unit allows students to put theoretical knowledge into practice by showing technical skills as well as engaging them in a creative and imaginative activity which promotes working with others.
