Welcome to Media Studies
Welcome to Media Studies
Media sources are powerful in our society, shaping the way we view the world. Understanding the way this happens gives you power. You will view, evaluate and analyse a variety of media products to help you explore how ideas are communicated and shape cultural norms. By creating your own products, you'll also gain valuable experience in the practical aspects of media. We hope you enjoy this course as much as we enjoy teaching it and look forward to seeing you in September.
