"Media is a fascinating subject.  I have always loved films and now feel that I can analyse new movies with a very much more informed perspective"  TGGS Student

Introduction to Media Studies

In a rapidly changing, technology-driven world, media is at the heart of everything we do.  Media Studies A Level explores society and the way it is reflected through print, moving image and e media. The skills taught in the subject provide students with the tools for engaging with the modern, technological world through the in-depth study of media products in relation to the theoretical framework: media language; media representation; media industries and media audiences.  Throughout the course, students are required to study media products from a wide variety of media forms, including: newspapers, advertising, radio, film and online/participatory media.
