MA Screenwriting is structured around lectures, seminars,
workshops and tutorials. Students' creative output includes short and
feature screenplays and a television series pilot script. This MA deepens the creativity of our students, embeds
professional practice, encourages enterprise and enhances employability.
Taught in the manner of a creative conservatoire, it prepares our
graduates to forge successful and fulfilling careers in the UK and
global film and television industries with confidence and flair. The course was established by Tanya Seghatchian, producer of the
Harry Potter films, Pawlikowski's Oscar winning 'Cold War' and Campion's
Oscar winning 'The Power of the Dog'. It is taught by professional
screenwriters and experienced educators Tim Price and Jonathan Hourigan.As a student on MA Screenwriting you will attend lectures and
participate in a range of inspiring, challenging and informative
seminars and workshops. You will have regular one-to-one meetings with
your tutors, access to visiting industry professionals and the
possibility of an internship at a production company or a relationship
with a professional screenwriting mentor. Participating production
companies have included       Film4
(Room, Ex Machina),       Wildgaze
(Brooklyn),       Number 9 Films
(Carol),       Left Bank
(The Crown),       Warp
(This is England),       Red Productions
(Happy Valley) and       Hammer Films
(The Woman in Black, Let Me In). Over the two semesters of MA Screenwriting you will work closely
with your tutors and collaborate with your contemporaries as you develop
your screenwriting, pitching, story-breaking, script editing,
analytical and other professional skills. You will attend screenings and
will regularly be required to read, analyse and discuss screenplays and
television episodes. This will broaden and deepen your critical
awareness of the history of - and current trends in - UK and global film
and television. You will have exposure to a range of approaches to
story structure and you'll explore the generation and development of
ideas, story design, characterisation, visual storytelling, genre, theme
and scene construction. You will develop short screenplays, a
full-length feature screenplay across at least two drafts and a pilot TV
episode which, collectively, will showcase both your distinctive vision
and professional capacities to the industry when you graduate.As with all courses located within the Centre for New Writing,
you will be taught by practitioners who are also experienced educators.
It is an industry-focused and vocationally-oriented programme. You will
receive individual career guidance and support around research, the
business and finance of screenwriting, the preparation of CVs, the
dissemination of your work, networking and the pursuit of entry level
opportunities. Along with the possibility of an internship at a
production company, there is also the possibility of a London industry
day with exposure to a range of professionals including writers,
producers, agents and commissioners.
