Media Studies combines theoretical analysis, contextual understanding, critical debate with practical application. Learners develop critical, analytical, and creative skills, along with improving communication, and their ability to work independently. They also develop their skills of self‐reflection. Contemporary media is a powerful influence on our lives, encoding key messages, themes, values, and ideologies. Studying Media Studies gives you the opportunity to learn about culture and society, enabling a deeper understanding of values, beliefs, and identity, and assesses the effect of advances in digital technology on individuals and organisations.
Entry to Sixth Form is by application and is dependent on the candidate achieving the minimum academic requirement of five GCSE grades at C or above (at least three at Grade B or above).
