The Media Studies – Level 3 Diploma Course explains the meaning of “media studies” in its broadest context and will appeal to anyone wishing to gain a foothold in this exciting and innovative vocational area.

Probably at no time in history has access to, and proficiency with, media and information technologies been more important in the public mind, nor more critical to policy making and teaching in government, schools and universities.

Nor at any time in the recent past have the nation's press, media, and information sectors been the object of as much intense public concern or scrutiny with a growing recognition of their unmatched importance in the conduct of our daily lives and democratic institutions.

Never before have the once separate worlds of news, stored knowledge, and the products of the mass media and entertainment industries converged locally, nationally, and globally, with even greater convergence certain to take place in the years ahead.

On successful completion of the home study courses students will receive a recognised level 3 diploma (Comparable to working at A Level or NVQ Level 3).

The Course covers the following Units:-

  • Unit 1: Introduction – what is media?
  • Unit 2: Advertising
  • Unit 3: Broadcast TV
  • Unit 4: Film
  • Unit 5: Practical production piece (or extended essay)
  • Unit 6: Representation - a theoretical perspective
  • Unit 7: Genre - an institutional and theoretical perspective
  • Unit 8: News
  • Unit 9: New Media
  • Unit 10: Extended essay

Pre-Requisites:

There are no particular entry requirements.

Course Duration & Support:

Theoretical information is provided throughout the course, followed by a series of tasks and essays that are to be completed and marked by your personal tutor.
