Media Studies allows students to explore the worlds of film, television, journalism and advertising in both theoretical and practical ways. Starting with the four Key Concept areas (Media Language, Audiences, Media Industries and Representations), students will learn the processes and ideas which drive the media before moving on to practical work, including photography, film making, audio recording, print publications and much more. During their first year, students will be taught practical skills using industry standard software and techniques. They will learn current production methods expected of professionals which will enable them to complete a practical portfolio of work over the duration of the course. Students will also be expected to explore a set of close study products (CSP's) in depth, displaying their analytical skills and academic knowledge. During their second year, students will complete their practical work and prepare for the two exam papers. By exploring the wider historical, political and social contexts of the media, students will gain a real world understanding of the impact media has in everyday life. Not only will this course prepare students academically, but it will also provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to secure a job in a vast range of media industries. Who is the course for? - Students who are looking for careers in advertising, journalism or entertainment media - Students interested in film, television and radio - Students interested in current affairs and politics - Students who have a love of practical media: filming, photography, computing
