MA Film (Screenwriting) is a course designed to refine your creative writing and technical skills. You’ll master advanced techniques, crafting compelling narratives, developing rich characters, and structuring dynamic scripts.

Collaborate with industry professionals and fellow USW students, gain insights, reflect critically, and elevate your screenwriting. You will work in production groups with the other MA Film pathway students on film exercises in semester 1 and a short film in semester 2. The MA Film (Screenwriting) course is for aspiring screenwriters who want to enhance their screenwriting skills and perfect their craft. This course teaches you how to create compelling narratives, build dynamic plots, and write engaging dialogue.

Applicants who are unsure as to which pathway they should apply for are encouraged to contact the course team for an informal discussion before making an application. Should you choose to apply for more than one pathway, your portfolio should demonstrate your interest and experience in each individual area and therefore more than one portfolio may be required.

Your assessment will be based on practical tasks from live briefs and production projects (70%), along with written reflections and critical analysis of your work (30%).
