Our new MA Writing for Screen and Stage supports your development as a writer across a range of forms, genres and industry contexts, including for film, TV, narrative gaming, theatre and performance. It is ideal if you are keen to work across different media as a scriptwriter who can write for both screen and the stage.
You will learn how to develop scripts for screen and stage: from the conception of an idea, to the writing of a treatment, to the development of a complete script and its pitching. You will also gain an understanding of different forms, genres, histories and theories of script writing and production in national and international contexts.
You will learn how to research and develop writing projects individually and as part of a team. You will also learn about industry practices and expectations, drawing on central Londons wealth of companies and contacts, and how to build a career in the field.
This course is available to study full- or part-time. It has an evening timetable with classes taking place in the evening, so that you can balance studying with work and other commitments.
Teaching on this course is innovative, flexible and engaging. It is conducted in small groups and one-to-one tutorials, with writing practice and script development at the heart of the course. Your final project, which allows you develop an extended script, will be supported by one-to-one supervision and feedback.
A second-class honours degree (2:2) or above in any related subject; other qualifications or experience will be considered. Applications are welcomed from those with or without prior experience in writing for screen and stage.
