“As an aspiring photographer, I found the media studies course to be a valuable complement to my artistic skills. Through the course, I have gained a deep understanding of the ways in which media influences our society and shapes our perceptions of the world. I believe that this knowledge will be crucial as I move forward and has helped me create images that are not only beautiful, but also impactful and thought provoking. Overall, I see the media studies course as an important stepping stone in the right direction for both my further education and career goals.”
