Back to top

Goals and curriculum

The five-semester part-time graduate programme is for students who already hold their first academic degree. It qualifies graduates to help their clients in the fields of social work, preventative and curative health work, as well as in the fields of professional coaching, supervision, cultural work, adult education, and psychotherapy. This is the first graduate programme in this field in a German-speaking country. Our programme started in 2006, and was successfully re-accredited in 2010. 

Students learn a broad range of creative methods to teach writing, and how to best employ them. It is important that students in the programme reflect on their own biography and writing style, as well as learning didactic skills to guide writing groups as well as individuals. In the field of the didactics of writing, students may develop a research project of their own, and present it in a master’s thesis. 

Programme structure

The programme is structured by two basic elements: classroom instruction and Internet-based teaching and communication. In two foundational semesters, students learn the fundamentals of biographic and creative writing, and they also develop their own writing competence. During the second or third semester, these competencies are verified in a practical project, preferably in the context of students’ own professional environment.  The third and fourth semester are devoted mainly to honing didactic skills for creative or biographic writing projects and to developing students’ individual writing and working styles. The fifth semester is reserved for the writing of the M.A. thesis. 

This programme is subject to tuition fees. Applications can be submitted at any time.  The language of instruction is German. For further information please switch to our  German website.

Screenwriting / Dramaturgy

An idea and its development into a concept form the starting point of any film project. Usually, the screenplay is the basis of the work of all crafts involved in filmmaking.

In the Screenwriting / Dramaturgy M.A. program, students learn how to write screenplays for feature films and gain in-depth knowledge of dramaturgy. Thus, the program builds on the base established by the B.A. program that allows students to acquire basic dramaturgical skills and to prepare their first feature-length project. Involving everything from the discussion of ideas to story development, the training provided aims at the production of feature and television films that add new and exciting impulses to the media landscape.

Students further refine their individual thematic and esthetic signatures and learn how to intelligently combine artistic demands with market orientation. The focus of the program is on the development of a feature-length screenplay as well as of further material. To promote interdisciplinarity and to lay the foundations for future collaborations, the program encourages working closely together with students enrolled in the Directing and Film and Television Production M.A. programs.

Connections to established and experienced directors, producers, and program managers aim at turning as many graduation projects (i.e. feature film or television screenplays) as possible into films.

Prerequisites Successful completion of the Screenwriting / Dramaturgy B.A. program, of a German Diplom program with a focus on screenwriting, fine arts, or media, or of a comparable program.

Degree:  Master of Arts (M.A.)

Program Duration:  4 semesters (120 credits)

2. The University of Hildesheim

The University of Hildesheim is one of the best universities to kickstart your passion for writing. It is equipped with world-class facilities and well-trained faculty. They offer a Bachelor’s degree in creative writing and cultural journalism. Unlike other creative writing courses in Germany, this university emphasizes both one’s writing practice and literary and cultural journalistic writing. Dealing with various arts is also incorporated into the curriculum, for instance as a different method of writing using different media. Students pursuing a bachelor of creative writing and journalism engage with literary, cultural, and journalistic manifestations creatively and practically as part of the course.

The idea is to foster a dialogue between literary and cultural studies as theory and the writing process as practice. Practical outcomes should enter the theoretical discourse, and theoretical ideas should be applied to one’s writing. This course’s fundamental starting point is the observation and analysis of the present, which is regarded to be today’s culture. On the one hand, questions are raised regarding the circumstances under which this culture creates anything novel or distinctive.

On the other hand, questions are also raised regarding the circumstances in which one can innovate or change their practice. Once you complete your initial bachelor’s, you also get a chance to go for a 12-week internship. This degree is interdisciplinary covering arts and music for students who are open to theatre, music, and script writing. After the internship, the course ends with the thesis submission.

Creative Writing degrees teach ways of building stories by expressing thoughts, feelings, and emotions using the written medium, as opposed to simply presenting written facts. Future creative writers learn to use elements of fiction, character creation, and plot development. Upon graduation, you’ll have the opportunity to work as a play writer, screenwriter, journalist, or fiction writer.

General goals

This group provides a confident and inspiring atmosphere to exchange and share ongoing experiences concerning the writing process during the PhD phase. To maintain this sheltered working context, we place value on being a small group of maximum seven members. The capacity isnot reached by now, but as members go back and forth for fieldwork, our group stays dynamic. If anyone feels passionate about our working group, please do not hesitate to contact us nonetheless.

We believe in writing as ability and skill that can be learned and practiced regularly. We experiment with different writing styles and use various strategies from creative to academic writing in order to reflect on our own writing practices and enhance our writing skills.  As Laurel Richardson (2000) has put it, we „consider writing as a method of inquiry, a way of finding out about yourself and your topic […]. Writing is also a way of ‘knowing’–a method of discovery and analysis“. We see writing as a strategy, as a method of inquiry that is both creative and critical. 'Writing-as-Inquiry' has emerged as a particular research methodology within the Social Sciences. Writing can be seen as a research practice of foregrounding and investigating how researchers construct knowledge about people, themselves, and the world by writing. It also provides insights into why we are interested in specific research questions. From this perspective, knowledge is understood to be constructed through more personal and embodied aspects of meaning-making. It is also informing views on learning, and in particular, notions of reflective practice. Besides our regular meetings, where we practice different writing styles and discuss our experiences, we want to invite professionals to support us improving our writing and communication skills. This will encourage us to discover new and innovative ways of dealing with the thinking-writing process as a key skill during the PhD Phase.

Our goals are:

• Providing a safe, inspiring space to circulate texts and discuss them
• Supporting each other in the writing process (e.g. writers block)
• Sharingwriting strategies
• Experiencing the writing process as a fruitful scientific method

Working Method

We meet regularly every two weeks for four to five hours, depending on the needs of our team members. We read texts about writing styles; we discuss our own writings that have to be circulated to the other group members at least four days beforehand and everyone is asked to contribute with constructive comments.

"Over the course of the program I became far more confident in my own voice. Beyond learning more about the logistics of playwriting (style, submission process, etc.) I learned about how to review and analyze my own work and develop it beyond what I was previously capable."

Kirk Boettcher '16

MFA in Playwriting

"Becoming a part of this cohort felt like getting sorted into a Hogwarts house. We're all in this together and, while we may have different genres, we all come together in the Great Hall (summer residency) to celebrate each other and grow what writing is ultimately about: community, communication, and connection."

Gina Musto '18

"It’s all about quality, not quantity, and the personal attention this program gives to its students. Incoming students feel the freedom to share their work knowing that they are in a productive academic environment which can only grow. I haven’t come across another MFA program anywhere that can even come close in comparison."

Roz Perry '18
