This is a dynamic course; you’ll study a range of media disciplines from traditional print media to the contemporary online platforms we use today. Audience reception, regulation, representation and gender are just some of the themes you will explore. This is an engaging A Level that will see you building both practical and academic skills that support a wide range of career ambitions. You’ll need no prior experience of this subject but a passion for current affairs and an interest in the world around you is a must!
