Tell me more

This scriptwriting degree course is a highly focused and unique training ground in creating what is the very foundation of film and television fiction - the script. Scripts for film and television feed the industry and, ultimately, dictate its creative direction.

Students actively submit their work to competitions, and recent successes include winners and shortlistings with the BBC, Channel 4, the Sir Peter Ustinov Television Scriptwriting Award, and The London Screenwriters' Festival.

Students on the course also work collaboratively with students on other courses within the Framework (Interactive Media, Radio, Television Production), giving them opportunities to see their work made (short films, webisodes, radio podcasts etc.) and form creative partnerships which may be used to forge career opportunities.
