FAQ GCSE Media Studies:

Can I carry forward my coursework if I am resitting?
Yes, pick the appropriate option. You will need to provide the UCI number you used when you originally took the exams and provide evidence that the coursework has been completed.

I am completing my coursework with a tutor or distance learning provider, is this acceptable?
We are unable to accept coursework completed with a tutor for Media Studies. 

If I select the ‘Coursework Required’ option what does this provide?
If you select this option you will be contacted by our Media Studies specialist who will send you the project brief and give you details of what you need to provide and the deadlines for doing this. Once you have finished they will mark and authenticate your work and provide feedback. The service does not include teaching or advice for the completion of the coursework however you may wish to discuss with our specialist whether they are willing to provide this as an additional service.

Can I choose what I want to do for the coursework?
Yes, but the project chosen must include the creation of media products for an intended audience in response to a brief set by OCR. When our Media Studies specialist first contacts you, you will be asked to provide a statement of intent so that they can confirm that your planned project meets the exam board criteria. If you subsequently change your plans you will need to have the new project checked.
