Put your creative skills into practice, working from an initial story idea to the final creative project with the MA Screenwriting by research. You will work from initial story idea to second draft a feature film screenplay (90-120 pages), or a fully developed pilot episode (45-60 pages), and a series bibl for a television project. You will also submit an analytical essay of 3,000-5,000 words to set your creative work within its research context.The MA by Research in Screenwriting has no taught element. You will work independently with support from your academic supervisor.This degree is particularly aimed at individuals who wish to develop advanced research skills to enhance their undergraduate degree and/or as a prelude to developing a research-based career. As such, whilst counting as a research degree in its own right, this Masters by research may enable you to transfer to PhD study. This is provided your research project is of a sufficiently high standard and has the potential to be explored in greater depth.
You will normally be expected to have at least a 2:1 undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification. You may be invited for an interview and asked to send samples of your creative practice work.
