Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drehbuchschreiben)

The Screenwriting specialisation is designed for those who have the desire and talent to write audience-driven stories for the screen.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Screenwriting) is the premier screenwriting undergraduate degree in Australia. You will study the many facets of screenwriting through lectures, classes, screenings and practice-based exercises.

You will gain industry expertise while developing your original voice and learn to write audience-driven stories for the screen. Housed in the VCA's department of Film and Television, this degree lives alongside other degrees in directing and producing for live-action fiction, animation and documentary.

At the Victorian College of the Arts, we are committed to providing a deep and transformative learning experience in pursuit of artistic excellence and innovation. As part of the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, we offer an absorbing, conservatoire and atelier-based education that fosters critical confidence and creative risk-taking.

In choosing to study with us, you will be welcomed by a community of practicing artists and writers, choreographers, designers, performers, actors, filmmakers, dancers and many more, all committed to the production of new work and the belief in the power of the artistic mind to effect change.

Whether you are primarily studying visual art, film and television, the performing arts, or one of the many specialisations within those areas, we encourage you to explore and experiment with other disciplines. For all of our undergraduate, graduate or short-course programs, we place a premium on the development of skill and facility.
