Media Studies

Studying Media Studies at St Cuthbert Mayne offers an exciting and comprehensive journey into the world of media. You’ll master industry-leading software like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro, creating your own magazine spread during your GCSE’s, then filming and editing your own music video in your A-Levels. With access to the latest editing suite, digital cameras, greenroom, and our very own drone, you’ll gain hands-on experience in a wide range of media techniques. You’ll also earn your flyer ID for independent drone flying and filming.

We also dive deep into the TV and movie industry, exploring its origins and evolution. You’ll analyse how media impacts society, from purchasing trends to political choices. This trillion-dollar industry offers endless career opportunities in graphic design, film production, advertising, and digital marketing.

Our students have moved onto work in TV, film, digital marketing, graphic design, and have even started their own businesses. We aim to give you all the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this exciting industry.
