  The Graduate Certificate of Screen Arts and Production: Drama is a chance to attain a short and targeted post-graduate qualification for students wishing to deepen, enhance or reframe their skills as a drama practitioner in the screen industries. In this three-subject course, students complete one core subject focused on scripted screen storytelling and complement it with two out of six production focused electives to round out your experience.

  The Graduate Certificate in Screen Arts and Production: Drama is a stand-alone course that can be taken full-time or part-time. It is also a pathway into the Master of Screen Arts and Production, should students wish to keep studying.

  The Graduate Certificate of Screen Arts and Production: Drama is taught by industry practitioners who have mentored award-wining graduates. The course has been designed to meet the demands of students already working in the industry who want to skill up in a different area or role than the one they are currently working in, or those who have just completed a generalist screen production degree, looking to position themselves competitively in the jobs market and want to specialise in drama production.
