A Level Media Studies
The Media Department is currently offering an A Level in Media Studies (WJEC) which allows us to provide students with in-depth knowledge of a range of theoretical perspectives that are relevant to third level education in the Arts and Humanities, theoretical perspectives to which they are rarely exposed until they begin studying at university level. We consistently attain a high percentage of A* to C grades in AS and A-Level, achieving between 85% and 95% A* to C.
