How are different groups of people represented in the media - for example women, or teenagers, or people from different regions of the UK? How is a film, magazine or a computer game constructed to grab the audience's attention? We follow the WJEC specification. Our department's results are impressive: at A-level 100 per cent of students passed and 90 per cent got A to C grades. Our students' practical work achieves high marks but to be really good overall you'll need a variety of technical and analytical skills and imagination, creativity and the ability to evaluate different media forms.

You will also need a recent IELTS Certificate with a minimum IELTS level of 5.5 - 6.0 to begin the A-level and International Baccalaureate courses

There are two modules in the first (AS) year: 'Media Representations and Responses' and 'Media Production Processes'. In the second year (A2), you will take two more units: 'Media Investigations and Production' and 'Media: Text, Industry and Audience'.
