Screenwriting and Producing - BA (Hons)

Regent's University London

This course prepares you for a wide range of careers in the film and television industry, while focusing on the art and craft of writing for the screen. It offers much more than a creative writing degree – you'll combine creative development with practical production and project management expertise: pitching, writing, directing, editing, fundraising, distributing and promoting your own work.Your first year is dedicated to gaining an overview of the industry and developing your skills in storytelling, production and producing independent films. In year two, you'll explore more closely the relationship between screenwriting and production, focusing on writing the pilot for a TV drama series. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in an internationally renowned film festival. The observations and skills learned here will feed into your final year, where you'll take on a major screenwriting project as well as writing and producing your own short film.Just like working in the industry, you’ll take on different roles, collaborate with others, adapt to client briefs and build compelling stories. Over time, you'll learn to manage team expectations, project plans, finances and more, all while finding your own unique voice.
