Course summary

AThe WJEC Eduqas specification offers pupils the opportunity to develop a thorough and in depth understanding of key issues within the media, using a comprehensive theoretical framework and a variety of advanced theoretical approaches and theories to support critical exploration and reflection, analysis and debate. The study of a wide range of rich and stimulating media products is central to the specification, offering opportunities for detailed analysis of how the media communicate meanings in a variety of forms. Pupils will work from the product outwards to debate key critical questions related to the social. cultural, political and economic role of the media. This specification also recognises the fundamental relationship between theoretical understanding and practical work, providing pupils with exciting opportunities to develop media production skills in different forms, apply their knowledge and understanding of the theoretical framework to media forms and products, and become creators of meaning themselves.
