Media Studies

Course summary

The A-Level Media Studies course is a dynamic program that explores media’s role in contemporary culture, society, and politics. Students study diverse media forms, including television, advertising, online platforms, music videos, and newspapers, using a theoretical framework focused on media language, representation, industries, and audiences. This approach enables critical analysis of how media products are created and consumed within various cultural, historical, and social contexts. The course also emphasises practical skills through a cross-media production project, where students create media products in response to specific briefs. By combining critical thinking, debate, and creativity, the programme prepares students for further studies in media and related fields, while providing a strong foundation for careers in the media industry
