This bursary is worth £5,000 and is equivalent to academic fees for a Home/EU student joining the MA in Creative Writing: Scriptwriting. All students, whether UK, EU or International, are eligible.

The award is funded internally, and the recipient will be chosen by the programme's tutors, based on the material submitted in his or her application portfolio. Scriptwriters may present themselves, in their portfolios, as stage or radio playwrights, film or television screenwriters, or as writers for two or more of these media.

All students accepted for a place on the course will automatically be considered for the bursary which will be awarded in September 2013.
