[RyanDOT]

Im in Year 9, and as so many people applied for Media Studies course for Yr 10-11.

So im thinking of making a remake of Nickleback - Rockstar, and make people sing in school, do you think it be qualify me to Media Studies course?

LOL Media is one of the most useless subjects you could take. You should take something useful like French or Geography.

Sounds like a good idea, could try it and see.

Hey am doing GCSE media now, I can tell you the coursework creating is phone but all the evaluations and stuff takes the mick to do, but its a EASY GCSE to gain, but theres alot to remember for the exam, but its a 3hour controlled exam so u can do half of it on one day and the next the other or all in the same day, so u can look at ur notes , if u done half in the mornin n then half in the afternoon its all 1 paper, It is a fun easy subject I reckon.

I disagree with that comment, with Media, you are able to obtain a job in virtually any area because virtually every single business requires marketing and a means of advertisement. Media is a wide range subject and its popularity is rising every year with it becoming one of the most popular courses to choose in GCSE, A-Level and Degree. Also pertaining to its links with other subjects (e.g. English, Psychology, Criminology, Leisure Studies, Business, Art, Performing Arts, Graphics and Education), as well as being the most influential entity in the world in which studying it improves your understanding of the world today of political, social, historical and economical factors.

I've taken Media for a total of 4 years and despite me not taking it when I attend uni, it will be one of the main areas of my study during my courses, I have never regretted taking it and I never will, I find it to be most beneficial and gratifying with you being able to study your own interests within the course and express yourself via your own personal work. I've included a link with my A-Level Coursework for you to watch if you wish, this has given me an A Grade and a round of applause during the Year 9 Choices day in my school a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely recommend it for anyone interested, although I would say that there is a lot of work involved, don't just think, like many in my class in years 10-11, that its an easy course, if you do the work, you will pass easily, if you don't, you will surely fail.

Do BTEC Media if you get the chance, much better than GCSE as far as I can tell...

My school is an arts and media college, with the crappest computers in the media department

You can take Media Studies AS/A2 without taking a GCSE within Media.

I wouldn't say it's the hardest A-Level, but some aspects of the course push you. It helps if you are literate, of course. A lot of good Uni's accept Media as well, and it aids you well in degrees for Media and English etc
