If you're a creative student who enjoys watching and analysing films as well as engaging with other media then Media Studies will appeal to you. If you like writing, design, photography, animation or making films and like to debate what you see in the media, you will also enjoy this subject.

Media Studies is a blend of theory and practical production. During this course you will design and create your own media product (a short film). You will also study a feature film from a variety of different perspectives and examine a film genre and its close relationship with society. Scholarship Media Studies is offered to 13MED students through an additional programme of learning.

This course will develop both your critical thinking skills and media production skills.
