Media Studies

Course summary

The media is a hugely important influence in society: we all interact with TV, news, the internet, movies or games on a daily basis. Media Studies at GCSE offers students the tools to deconstruct the messages that bombard us and help us make sense of the world we live in. Media Studies also provides students with genuine skills they can take into the workplace: project management, team working, creative design and communication. Production work requires discipline, commitment and creativity – attributes that every employer will value.
