Media Studies (A Level) – Level 3

Course overview
The media is one of the most influential vehicles of communication in the world today, and its impact on how we perceive and react to people, places, and events is indisputable. Our Media Studies course dives into the significance of the media and its place in our world while teaching you a range of transferable skills for the future.
This course will develop both your analytical and creative skills as you learn to understand the media industry, its products and the messages they hold. You will learn media language tools and use these to interpret the messages communicated by media products such as Advertising, Music Video, News and Television Drama. As you develop your understanding of the construction of media products, you will apply this to the creation of your own production work, developing visualisation, design and editing skills using industry standard software and equipment.?
Explore A Levels
A Level students will be based in MC6, a modern, vibrant environment which promotes independent learning and study. The centre bridges the gap between school and university, with specialist classrooms and laboratories and open plan study and social spaces.
