Career opportunities
"If you want a career in TV/film and don't know where to start, I would recommend the MA for the insight it gives into the industry.
"It's not a typical academic course - it's very vocational and is focused on preparing you for a job."
Katie Lythgow / Junior Storyliner at Hollyoaks
This course is designed to train graduates to work in the UK and global film and television industries.
Some will work as professional screenwriters, while others may take up other media and writing positions.
We host talks from professionals in the industry and offer internship and mentor programmes to help you network and get an insight into what it's like to work in film and TV.
You can read profiles of some of our recent graduates to find out where they ended up working after completing the course - including two graduates who now work on Hollyoaks - on our student spotlights page.
The University has its own dedicated Careers Service that you would have full access to as a student and for two years after you graduate. At Manchester you will have access to a number of opportunities to help boost your employability .
