The media shapes our lives in many unseen ways, from our views on race and religion to the way we see the economy. You’ll be given the tools you need to understand and address these issues. We encourage you to be critical – a vital skill for questioning the status quo.
You’ll develop a vocabulary for discussing and analysing works of literature from different genres and historical periods.
This course offers you the chance to cultivate your creative skills – you’ll be creating screenplays for film and TV, plays for radio, and short stories. These will form a portfolio that you can show to future employers.
You’ll gain an understanding of media production and how writing impacts on the technical aspects of the media industry.
