Media Studies is an academic discipline which looks into the media industry and the sociological effects it has over the majority. It is a diverse study which is taught at various academic levels such as GCSE, GCE Advanced Level and many university programs.
The study has ties with Humanity based subjects such as Sociology, Psychology and History and ties with Art based subjects such as the Performing Arts, Production Arts and Literature. It is because of this that Media Studies can be considered to be a collaboration of Academia and the Arts.
Unfortunatley because the course is relatively new it is regarded as a 'soft option' by traditionalists. This is however untrue as media studies like any subject requires a lot of practise and understanding in order succeed in.

Get the chirpy college student mug.Someone who no one understands and is most likely pressured into getting good grades by their parents, people make fun of them and know they can’t go to many parties or social events because they will be studying. They think no one will ever want them and that they are just the lonely nerd. Some people think it’s okay to take their answers because they are friends. Straight a students it in so much hard work that no one sees and are going to be the people that do something meaningful with their lives. Keep working hard, it will all be worth it ❤️.
Straight “A” student: sorry I can’t go to your party tonight midterms are next week!
Any other student: pfft, ok nerd, we literally have another week before we need to start studying!
