Course Overview

Our Postgraduate Certificate in Screenwriting offers you the opportunity to develop your practical screenwriting skills and techniques, and to apply them to writing briefs, together with developing your ability to evaluate the effectiveness of communicating ideas in script form. A distinctive feature is a fast-track core module, which will enable graduates in other fields to gain detailed knowledge of screenwriting conventions, an understanding of common formats, and the ability to analyse a brief and evaluate ones own writing within a commercial context. Armed with the core skills of the fast-track course, a subsequent module will develop your skills in writing a draft script in either film or television format.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in any related subject; other qualifications will be considered. Applications are encouraged from those with or without prior screenwriting experience. In addition to our online application, you will need to complete and submit an entrance task.
