The subject of Media Studies provides students with a solid understanding of how the media works and the impact it can have on our lives. The subject encourages students to develop analytical skills based on the four key areas of the theoretical framework: media language, media representation, media industries and media audiences. These skills can also be used to support students' progress in English.
