In your third and final year, you will be able to develop further your scriptwriting, poetry and longer fiction writing, tackling a large-scale writing project under expert supervision. You also have the opportunity to spend five weeks working for a host organisation in this course. You’ll have the chance to test-drive a future career, boost your CV and gain real work experience. There is also the opportunity to undertake an Experiential Learning module, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned on the course to real-life scenarios and projects.

This course also offers the exciting opportunity to study abroad for a full academic year at one of our bilateral exchange partners or through ISEP (International Student Exchange Programs), a network of over 300 additional higher education institutions worldwide.
