Media Studies at Henley

Film, broadcasting, the press and other media play a major role in modern life. One of the main aims of media studies is to bring a critical awareness to our use of the media and to enable us to get more from our experiences of cinema, television or what we read. The AS/A level course is an increasingly popular one with more students wishing to follow it every year. For many this is the start of what they hope will be a career path. The course is not a vocational one and will not automatically result in a glamorous job in the media but it will give you a broad understanding of how the media industry works and it may well lead on to other more professional courses. Significant numbers of students do go on every year to degree courses in media related subjects at university.
