Media (Diploma/AAQ)

While we have passed our January application deadline, we do invite late/further applications or expressions of interest (contact us using - sixthform@samuelward.co.uk).

Media Studies is the ability to create, use, analyse and understand media products, within the context of their audiences and institutions. There will be opportunities to produce your own media products, such as music videos and print artefacts, as informed by your knowledge and understanding. There will be an emphasis on how media texts represent and position audiences. You will analyse a variety of media texts, including independent and mainstream, as well as media texts produced before 1970.
