    Admitted (After Interview) MA Screenwriting - 2023

    We had to submit twenty pages of our own written work, along with answering a few questions. They also asked for two references, but they only need to submit their letters when you have been asked to interview. I found some of the questions quite hard as they were quite general. But my friend...

    Applied NFTS Screenwriting MA - January 2023 Intake

    The application was fairly straightforward. You have to submit 20 pages of a script. The rest is education and/or work history and general application questions specific to the program (why do you want to apply, what kinds of films do you want to make, etc). My only complaint is that there was...

    Denied (After Interview) NFTS MA Screenwriting Spring 2023

    Found the questions pretty standard and actually enjoyed doing the analysis of my own script. Found some of the instructions a bit vague and had to email for clarity but responses were really speedy which was great.

    Fine. Applied on May 1st and just got the interview notice. The app requires a little bit of research but none of it is particularly burdensome. A bit fun, actually. All in all, a pretty stress-free experience.
