The media is all around us. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. As audiences we consistently use media and communication, whether this is sending an email, watching videos on YouTube, or settling down with a bag of popcorn at your local multiplex. As a media student, you will analyse the relationships between audience and text, as well as creating your own products which show you understand how existing media communicates.

Media studies is all about communication and the course is designed to develop the skills of an independent and enquiring student through analysis and creativity.
