Media Studies

Media Studies is an excellent subject if you’re interested in understanding how the Media is so important in our everyday lives and how television, films, magazines, radio and the internet present the world to us.

If you opt for Media Studies, as well as sitting an exam on such diverse subjects as action/adventure films and reality TV, you will also get the opportunity in assignments to make your own magazines, music videos, web pages and movie trailers.

Those of you who are really keen might also want to try the Media Studies Double Award, where more in-depth investigation into media institutions will earn you two GCSE’s.

So, if you’re a creative student who’s interested in investigating and making your own media products, this is the subject for you.
