Endorsed by WJEC/Eduqas, this Student Book offers high quality support you can trust.

  • Written by experienced Media Studies teachers and examiners, this engaging resource will encourage your students to become confident, independent learners and develop their skills as Media students.
  • All areas of the specification are covered and supported by numerous highly-illustrated examples taken from the set products and optional choices.
  • The theoretical framework underpinning media studies is explored and applied to a range of media forms and products.
  • A dedicated chapter on the Non-Examined Assessment element of the specification provides clear guidance on how students will be assessed.
  • Exam guidance sections introduce students to practice questions and the assessment objectives helping students with the skills they need for assessment.
  • Extension tasks will help to stretch and challenge higher ability students.
  • The book supports students taking Media Studies for the first time, as well as those who are progressing from GCSE.

Please note:  Some of the set products in the Eduqas GCSE, AS and A Level specification have been changed for assessment in 2021 to make them more current, or where support material is no longer available. However, the forms and the elements of the theoretical framework covered remain the same. With regard to newspapers and radio the products have simply been updated. All of the material in the Student Books and Revision Guides continues to be relevant and applicable to the new products.

“As an experienced Media teacher who has contributed to media textbooks myself, I am very impressed with this book. Theories are explained concisely without over-simplification and with clear application to the study texts. The book is also attractive and readable. One of the plusses of the limited new A level specification is that this book will remain current. I’ve ordered a class-room set and am insisting all my students buy a copy. This is the first time I’ve ever done this in thirty years of media and film teaching!” 5 star review on Amazon
