Screenwriting MFA (Taught)

This course is subject to approval for 2026 entry

This unique course is the UK’s first and only MFA in Screenwriting.

We differentiate ourselves by a focus on writing for today’s streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon, Apple or Disney+. You will be learning the art and business of screenwriting in Central London, a world hub of the audiovisual media industries, which enables you easy access to film funders, producers and practising screenwriters.

In your first year you follow the taught structure of the MA Screenwriting, exploring the business of screenwriting and how exemplary films and series use action to drive narrative.

In your second year, all MFA students receive an intensive year (at half price) of supervised screenwriting practice. This enables you to dramatically expand your professional writing portfolio and the resultant MFA degree allows you to teach screenwriting at university level internationally.
