Master of Arts in Scriptwriting

A one year master degree in writing for screen and stage, covering dramatic structure, character and dialogue, format and genre, industry practice and a completed script.

Scriptwriting asks IELTS 7.0, one of five Bath Spa courses at that level, all of them writing intensive.

Master of Arts in Scriptwriting is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the scriptwriting master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the scriptwriting master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the scriptwriting master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the scriptwriting master does not support a family move.
