Master of Arts Screen Production Screenwriting

The boom in film drama, powered by companies such as Netflix, and the advent of streamed media and web content, is opening up new opportunities for scriptwriters. Imaginative and skilled collaborators are needed to work on dramas, web series and films across diverse genres and with the right skills and experience, students could get their work commissioned on TV or online.

Aimed at students with some experience of writing their own scripts already, UWE's MA Screen Production (Screenwriting) supports students to develop scripts for their own dramas and feature films. Focusing on the professional practices of writing, students will learn about the structures, relationships and business environment of the screen industry, as they hone and develop their scripts.

UWE Bristol has sector-leading expertise in film, standing at third in the UK in the Guardian League Tables 2020. Students will be taught by award-winning film and TV screenwriters, and trained in the individual and collaborative practices of scriptwriting.

Studying this in Bristol means students will be part of the city's rapidly expanding screen business sector. The city is home to the renowned Bottle Yard Studios, and many leading independent production companies, as well as being one of two Channel 4 regional hubs, and the new production base for Netflix.
