Entry requirements
We’re looking for committed, self-disciplined writers with a few scripts behind them, not necessarily produced. We expect students to engage with each other in a supportive environment. Writing is hard work, and rewriting can be challenging, so we need students who genuinely want to learn and develop. Usually, you will have a good undergraduate degree in any subject. Relevant experience can be considered and entrance is through submission of work which needs to be presented to professional formatting standards, a personal statement, associated documentation as needed, and interview. Overseas students are also required to provide evidence of their English language ability. Ideally this should be IELTS 7.0 overall with a minimum score or 6.0 in each element, or equivalent. We’ll consider candidates without prior academic qualifications based on a short assessment.
