Media studies uses a range of social skills in different contexts, including working and socialising with students from different religious, ethnic and socio economic backgrounds. A willingness to participate in a variety of social settings, cooperating well with others and being able to resolve conflicts effectively. An interest in and understanding of the way communities and societies function at a variety of levels. 

Students gain the ability to recognise between right and wrong and their readiness to apply this understanding in their own lives. Understanding the consequences of their actions. An interest in investigating and offering reasoned views about moral and ethical issues. There is an understanding and appreciation of the wide range of cultural influences that have shaped their own heritage. A willingness to participate in and respond to artistic, musical, technological and cultural opportunities. An interest in exploring, understanding of, and respect for cultural diversity and the extent to which they understand, accept, respect and celebrate diverse socio-economic groups in the local, national and global communities.  

Cultural development is shown by their beliefs which inform their perspective on life and their interest and respect for different feelings and values. Sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others and the world around them. Use of imagination and creativity in their learning and willingness to reflect on their experiences. 

To enrich the classroom based learning students will have the opportunity to visit the BFI, live studios and take an exclusive look into the BBC newsroom.
