The MA Creative Writing Scriptwriting addresses dramatic writing across the media with the rigour and professional insight that are the hallmark of our creative writing teaching.
You will explore both the theory and practice of dramatic writing, addressing contemporary critical debates, analysing written and performance texts, and experimenting with a range of techniques in original writing. You will develop your skills in constructive criticism and creative editing of your peers’ writing, creating a supportive writers’ network in the process.
Your modules will be taught by theorists and practitioners, and will be supplemented by masterclasses given by visiting specialists. Our teaching is carried out through seminar discussions and presentations, screenings, workshops and readings, and may also include performance visits. You will be assessed on an analytical essay, original creative writing and working process materials.

Course programme

The Scriptwriting strand of the MA Creative Writing is taken over one academic year (full time) or two years (part time). You will take four taught modules (two in the autumn semester, two in spring) and write a dissertation during the summer, with tutorial supervision.

In addition to the three core modules outlined above, you may choose another module from the range of modules offered within the School (excluding other Creative Writing workshops). These include Politics and Media; Asian Cinema; Creativity and Development in Film and Television Production; and Adaptation and Interpretation.

By the spring semester you will have embarked on your dissertation, benefiting from close supervision and advice as you write a full-length drama for the medium of your choice. This will be an original script, written to at least second draft stage, for stage, screen (TV or feature film), or radio.
