GCSE Media Studies specification changes

Published: Monday 2 Sep 2019

We’ve updated our GCSE Media Studies (8572) specification to add a number of media terms that were not included in the subject content.

These are standard media studies terms and it’s likely that you will already know and have been teaching them to your students.

Media terms have been added to sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.5 of the specification.

The updated pdf specification (version 1.3) can be found on our qualifications page. We flag any changes on the web version of our specifications in the subject content where they are highlighted as ‘updated’ in an orange box.
