Media Studies is of paramount importance in equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge for young people to fully understand the role the Media plays in our contemporary (media saturated) society. The aims of the Media Studies courses broadly fit into two categories:
- To equip students with the information and knowledge needed to be critical, analytical and thoughtful, whilst having a well developed understanding of the role which the Media plays on a national and global scale, in shaping societies and influencing people’s beliefs and ideologies
- To teach students the production skills required to have a detailed understanding of how professional media texts are constructed, and to be able to apply this to their own creative work in their own media productions
Students on the course will have access to the latest technologies (both hardware and software) to prepare them for the world beyond school, and ensure they have the best start possible if they wish to take their studies/production work further.
