About the course

Course Overview

Students will be taught by experienced practitioners within a conservatoire setting, working with top industry professionals and alongside students on other course (acting, design, directing etc) and have your work explored in a practical setting.

Studying and developing your craft of writing within a drama school means that you will have the opportunity to see your work practically explored by actors, directors and other theatre makers.

This is a full-time course, but contact hours will normally be concentrated into two days a week (Thursday and Friday), with four ‘intensive weeks’ spread through the year. The Writers’ Hub is a dedicated space for teaching & learning, individual writing and for the group to programme activities.

Entry Requirements

Normally, successful candidates will have a first degree. It is expected that candidates will have some demonstrated experience of writing which could be in a medium other than drama. The course is also suitable for candidates who have been working in the drama industry and now wish to develop their writing skills.

Applicants will be interviewed by two members of staff, including the Head of Course or Artistic Director.
