Course summary
Media is inescapable in our digitally driven world. Information and access to that information is power. It can sway elections and influence choices at every level of your daily life. It can also bring great pleasure through the ability to access products whenever and wherever we choose bringing the power to the consumer and allowing us to interact in ways our parents never thought possible. Through the study of media we are able to understand how this process of persuasion works and learn to apply these skills ourselves. This course combines both examined and practical units that allow pupils to investigate the process behind the production of media products, the institutions that make them and the audiences at whom they are targeted. The pupils will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through one exam and two practical units each year. Students will develop skills in print and audio visual media using a range of software programs. Media is one of the fastest growing sectors in the job market. Media Studies can lead to jobs in journalism, film, television or advertising to name just a few areas. Students who have successfully completed our Level 3 course have moved on to study at degree level and also gone onto apprenticeship programmed.
