You’ll study the theory and practice of dramatic writing, analysing scripts and experimenting with a range of techniques in your original writing.

Your skill as a writer, and your understanding of your chosen industry, will flourish with the professional insight that is the hallmark of our MA scriptwriting teaching.

You’ll study the core conventions of drama and apply them to your own writing. You’ll write a short script for your choice of medium, building an idea from concept to realisation and exploring the modes of script development that are common practice for working writers. And you’ll write a feature-length script or equivalent as your final dissertation, under the expert supervision of a member of our faculty.
