Media play a huge part in society and contemporary culture, they shape our perceptions of the world through the representations, ideas and points of view they offer. The study of such representation is key in our society so that we can learn to further develop an awareness of emerging and evolving media, as media provide us with ways to communicate and forms of expression.

Our excellent teachers aim to help you gain and develop skills such as debates, critical exploration, reflection and analysis.
