The Media curriculum at the British School of Outdoor Education aims to allow learners who are studying a broad range of GCSEs and A Levels to draw on the knowledge and skills acquired from these subjects where relevant and allow them the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to everyday and work contexts.
The BTECs in Media at both KS4 & 5 give learners the opportunity to build skills that show an aptitude for further learning, both in the media sector and more widely. The well-established BTEC assessment approaches are proven to be successful in building skills and motivating learners to engage fully with challenging study. There is no limit to progression options as the skills acquired are applicable to a range of post-16 and higher education study options.
The creative media sector is a dynamic, growing sector to work in, with new opportunities arising continually. The Nigeria’s creative industries as a whole are now worth over N18 4 billion per year to the Nigerian economy. Working in the creative media industry involves a wide range of practical processes, skills and techniques. As digital technology continues to evolve, media techniques have become more sophisticated and media products are becoming more advanced.
The Media curriculum at The British School of Outdoor Education allows for students to not only become enthralled in an enjoyable, creative subject but also allows students to learn about the industry and how it works thereby preparing them for the world of work not only in the Media industry but also in any sector that places emphasis on the same set of core skills.
