Media Studies

Two years – A level

Consider how much time you spend consuming media on a daily basis. Now consider why you spend so much time consuming it. What is it that the media does to keep you glued to your tablet, phone and TV screens, and how are the producers of these media products shaping your beliefs on everything from race and gender to right and wrong? The media is a dynamic, vibrant and essential industry that offers a whole range of exciting career opportunities to those who study it.
