Ok so I have NEVER been entirely sure what I wanted to be/do later in life (I still have no idea) I am currently taking Psychology, Eng Lang and Media studies for A-Levels and am predicted AAB. (hopefully AAA).
I know that I want to do something media related BUT it is a very broad - like it ranges from film to animation to photgraphy to TV to radio to communications to special effects etc. Initially, I wanted to apply for generic courses e.g. communication & media studies (loughborough) / film and media (newcastle) /media and culture studies (lancaster) / digital culture (kings college) - quite highly regarded unis.
After doing more research into these courses, I found that they were very theory based, too theory based eg a large majority of the modules were about history of film/feminism/society and culture etc and I was looking for something more creative, practical and hands on.
With this in mind, I researched more media based courses and came across something more technical (math-y/science-y like) called 'digital arts/media' which I find quite fascinating. HOWEVER because I am not the biggest fan of maths and science (never have been) my biggest fear is regretting the course and finding the coding/computing modules too difficult. Although, these types of courses do have creative elements such as photography/animation/SFX/visual effects/storytelling which attracted me to it. However most of the unis that offer these types of courses arent as highly regarded as the previous eg sussex/bournemouth/kent/greenwhich - however, would this matter?
Is it true that creative degrees combined with more technical/mathematical degrees will be more beneficial later on?
