Media Studies AS and A2 II

Please Note - These fees are for the 2016/17 Academic Year and are subject to change annually. Please note fees are payable for each year of study.

Media and communications are among the world’s largest industries. This course begins the process of understanding what at first seems very familiar to us – television, films, radio, newspapers and magazines.

You will require 5 GCSEs at Grades A*- C including English Language. You do not need to have studied Media at GCSE.

You will be invited to attend an interview, and will undertake an assessment in literacy and numeracy, to establish any support required.

At AS Level we learn how media forms are constructed and the importance of digital technology and media convergence. You will learn by deconstructing media texts such as magazine covers, film trailers, adverts, TV programmes & websites. You will also learn how these are interpreted by different audiences.
