Our MA postgraduate course for screenwriters combines an intense programme of screenwriting craft classes, constant development of writing projects and practical advice on the realities of making a living as a screenwriter in the film industry. Once you complete a year course at London Film Academy, you are required to complete additional modules at another educational institution by way of a progression agreement. You may continue your studies at Anglia Ruskin University (for 6 months full time or 1 year part time) in order to achieve a Master of Arts degree.
Our MA course is open to students who already have an undergraduate degree and can evidence sufficient experience in filmmaking. Potential students should consider the entry requirements before making an application.
You will enhance your awareness of screenwriting theory and craft, gain more experience of writing in the correct format and delivering to deadlines. Above all, you will leave the course with an enhanced portfolio that will showcase a short film script, television project and TWO feature film scripts, all of which will have received expert development and industry feedback.

Course programme
The first year of the programme takes place at London Film Academy. The syllabus for the year is as follows:
Term 1
The first module covers the development of a short film script alongside an introductory course in the basics of screenwriting. Your second module covers television. You will develop a TV bible and 30 minute episode script.
Term 2
Your second term commences as you embark on your first feature script. Every stage of development is looked at by your tutors in a range of one-to-one sessions or group tutorials.
Term 3
The model of your final term is similar to that of the 2nd term. The focus is on the development of a second feature script. Along with the expert advice and development sessions you receive at each stage of the project, you will also receive advice on seeking work in the industry.
