The course will help you to become a more adept scriptwriter, able to work across theatre, radio, film, and television. Along with a comprehensive training in key writing skills, you’ll develop your critical thinking, creative dexterity, and coherent strategies for professional progress.\n\nWith access to campus resources such as professional recording equipment and television studios, you’ll collaborate with acting, directing and film-making students to make films, record audio drama, and develop plays for theatre. Creative collaboration forms the heart of the Scriptwriting course, as you develop an understanding of live presentation, of idea as word, and of the direct relationship, in any given medium, between writer and audience.",
