MEDIA
A LEVEL
A LEVEL
If you are interested in TV, publishing, journalism,
broadcasting, advertising, or media production, then media
studies may be the subject for you.
Physics examines the behaviour and properties of matter
in a wide variety of contexts, ranging from sub-nuclear
particles from which all ordinary matter is made, to the
behaviour of the material universe as a whole.
In A level media studies, you will deconstruct many forms of media
through theoretical study and practical exploration, as well as
constructing your own media products to further your creative
abilities. We will think analytically about audience demographics
and the way that we interact and engage with media texts daily.
The course is made up of 3 components, through which you will
analyse, study, and create a range of the following media forms:

PHYSICS
You will find out that electrons are waves and how to leap
tall buildings in a single bound; but to do this you will need
confidence with numbers, diagrams and theoretical models.
Physics is a challenging subject which teaches you how to solve
problems using mathematics. It is a subject valued by many
employers and is essential for career paths; for example motor
sport engineering, computer games technology, biomedical
sciences, architecture and engineering, to name just a few.
Course Specific Entry Requirements:
You will need a grade 6 in physics, or combined science at GCSE
and a grade 6 in mathematics.
