How to Apply - MA TV Fiction Writing
Applying for the course
Applicants should apply on the standard GCU postgraduate application form. Although there is no deadline, this is a competitive course and we recommend you apply early in order to secure a place. Once the programme is full, applicants will be considered for the following year.
In the Personal Statement section of the application form candidates must demonstrate evidence of prior interest and/or achievement in writing fiction for television and/or the general field of creative writing.
This must be supported by samples of personal creative writing (up to 3 short pieces ie: short stories, scene from play or screenplay). These works do not need to have been published or performed.
Additionally applicants must make a clear and unequivocal statement of why they wish to pursue a career in television writing.
Short-listed applicants will be notified of interview dates.
