Entry Requirements

We’re looking for committed, self-disciplined writers with a few scripts behind them, not necessarily produced. We expect students to engage with each other in a supportive environment. Writing is hard work, and rewriting can be challenging, so we need students who genuinely want to learn and develop.

Usually, you will have a good undergraduate degree in any subject. Relevant experience can be considered and entrance is through submission of work which needs to be presented to professional formatting standards, a personal statement, associated documentation as needed, and interview.

Fees
