New MA Screenwriting (Online) Programme at Screen Academy Scotland
Thu 1 Jan 2026 to Fri 31 Dec 2027
Screen Academy Scotland, part of Edinburgh Napier University, is launching a brand new online version of our long-running and highly-regarded MA Screenwriting programme.

Taught online by Dr Chris Neilan, author of Beyond the Monoplot, the programme enables you to develop your screenwriting skills to Masters level without having to relocate.

The programme is taught part-time over 2 years, with a workload of approximately 20hrs of study per week, helping our students to complete their Masters alongside work and family commitments.

Students pay on a module-by-module basis at the start of each trimester, allowing you to spread the cost of your tuition fees.

Our innovative programme has been designed with collaboration at its heart - you'll have lots of live seminar and workshop time with your tutors and classmates, helping you develop your employability skills, your networks and connections with your peers.

Start: January 2026

Location: online
Cost: tuition fees for home students £945 per 20 credit module, £8505 for whole programme (180 credits), payable on a module-by-module basis
