Is it possible to become just a Media Studies teacher at secondary school in the UK


Is it possible to become just a Media Studies teacher at secondary school in the UK?
I would like to become a media studies teacher since it is my favourite subject and im doing very well in it, so is it possible? at my school all of the media teachers are english teachers too but i would love to be able to teach just media studies after being inspired by my own media studies teacher.

I would assume, but don't limit yourself to JUST media studies or you'll be limiting your job options. I don't know how it is in the UK, but English teaching jobs are hard to come by in my part of the States. It's truly a waiting game. Even rarer are the media studies jobs, which would most likely be classified under "Librarian/Media Specialist" here. So, my advice is to major in English education, minor in Media Studies, and have the ability to teach both.
