MEDIA STUDIES
OUR VISION
Media Studies is an A Level subject with tremendous career opportunities. It aims to equip students with the analytical skills needed to be active media citizens, moving from a passive spectator to an active critic. Here at Hatch End, we believe it is also vital for young people to have an awareness of the inner workings of the Media because it is a huge part of their lives.
With the newly installed Mac Suite, Media Studies at Hatch End is an ever growing and exciting department to be a part of. Students also have the chance to take part in many creative projects that will challenge them throughout the year. These will range from web design, film-making, editing, design and photography skills.
