Many students study this subject to develop their understanding of a society dominated by mediated images and information. Some take it to develop their practical and creative skills, others combine it with other subjects to enter into vocational areas such as journalism, marketing, television and advertising. However, students who make the best of the course are already interested in the media before they start studying this subject. The subject combines a study of academic research about the media and a practical involvement in making media products. Therefore, you do need to be prepared to write thoughtful, coherent academic essays about the media and to creatively develop original ideas in order to produce practical work. The course explores a wide range of media including TV Drama and the Music Industry. Some of the students who study Media Studies at A level go on to study a Media Production course at a university. For example, TV production, Multimedia Journalism, Film Production, and Advertising. You may want to combine the subject with Graphics, Business Studies, English or Law to eventually move into vocational areas such as marketing, events management, public relations or journalism. You complete one coursework module and one examined module per year. The exam at the end of each year is two hours and tests your ability to write academic essays under timed conditions.
