Media studies

Media studies is taught in our purpose-built media suite where students have access to up to date hardware, such as still and moving image cameras and industry-standard software packages.

Students study all aspects of media studies across their course, learning how to analyse and deconstruct media texts. They create advertising campaigns, their own films and are now branching out into website design and music video creation. Be warned: staff and students should be prepared as they are often roped in to playing a part in the latest epic or a victim in a horror film!

You never look at a film or TV show in the same way after taking media. You learn all the tricks behind the camera, as well as getting the opportunity to create your own stuff.
