Modules

The reflection essay is part of the script development module which draws on ideas and perspectives that students learn throughout the programme. It fulfils three functions: It is a reflection by the student upon their creative processes and inspirations; It features an argument which draws upon theoretical ideas taken from one of the MA theory courses as specified by the module handbook; It moves beyond reflection to allow the student to develop a 'road map' for the further development of the long-form script once the degree has been completed.
