MA Screenwriting

South West University or College - Part Time

This part-time MA Screenwriting course is taught entirely by residential/attendance periods combined with distance-learning, allowing you to fit study in-and-around your other commitments.

You will be on campus for approximately three weeks during the entire two-year course in a total of four residential periods. During these periods you will be involved in a range of activities that are designed to develop your knowledge and expertise, in the area of 'writing for the screen', such as:

Lectures
Presentations
Seminars
Analysed screenings
Exercises and discussions
Group meetings and one-to-one tutorials.
Forming the core of the course, all script assignments are fully prepared during these sessions.
Throughout the rest of the programme you work through a range of script assignments and the tutorial schedule allows for close supervision and guidance from the academic staff (who are all professional working writers). You will be allocated to a different tutor for each assignment, so that during the two-year programme you have the experience of working with a variety of styles and methods.
