Course summary

MA Film is a new opportunity to study film at Postgraduate level in Cardiff. The course provides a strong general grounding in the needs of the contemporary British Film and Television industry, with opportunities to develop and hone key skills via multiple pathways that lead directly to different career opportunities. By combining these different disciplines, students gain the opportunity to collaborate with each other, with other USW students and with industry professionals to develop their skills to a higher level.

The MA Film (Screenwriting) pathway is designed to give you the knowledge needed to write your first feature, moving from pitch to treatment to final draft within a year. Alongside this, in your first term, you鈥檒l be asked to write scenes that can be shot with our actors and directors as well as a ten-minute short you can pitch to the rest of the cohort. In the second term, our focus shifts to longer form storytelling. Looking at dramatic structures and series design, you鈥檒l work in a writer鈥檚 room to shape your very own series and write an episode. The final term is entirely focused on your feature, ensuring that you leave us with a calling card script you can be proud of.

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.

CAREERS

The course features a unique, in-depth work experience module with a local major film and tv industry employer as well as numerous opportunities for paid and unpaid work experience and shadowing with a broad range of screen industries companies.

Graduates from this course could enter a variety of careers upon graduating. These include jobs in film & TV, screen industries and creative industries more generally.
