Scheduled teaching sessions may include lectures, seminars, workshops or laboratory work. Depending on the modules you take, you may also have additional scheduled academic activities, such as tutorials, dissertation supervision, practical classes, visits and field trips. On our taught courses, the actual amount of time you spend in the classroom and in contact with your lecturers will depend on your course, the option modules you select and when you undertake your final-year project if applicable.
Alongside your contact hours, you will also undertake assessment activities and independent learning outside of class. One credit is equivalent to ten hours of learning time. Modules are usually in 15, 30 or 60 credit units.
A credit module will mean around hours of learning, including taught sessions and independent study or group work. This is spread out over the whole period of that module and includes the time you spend on any assessments, including in examinations, preparing and writing assessments or engaged in practical work as well as any study support sessions to help you in your learning.
On our distance-learning and blended-learning courses, discussion, collaboration and interaction with your lecturers and fellow students is encouraged and enabled through various learning technologies. Timetables are usually available from September onwards and you can access your personalised timetable via your My Birkbeck Profile online if you have been invited to enrol. Class sizes vary, depending on your course, the module you are undertaking, and the method of teaching.
For example, lectures are presented to larger groups, whereas seminars usually consist of small, interactive groups led by a tutor. On our taught courses, much of your time outside of class will be spent on self-directed, independent learning, including preparing for classes and following up afterwards.
This will usually include, but is not limited to, reading books and journal articles, undertaking research, working on coursework and assignments, and preparing for presentations and assessments.
Independent learning is absolutely vital to your success as a student. Everyone is different, and the study time required varies topic by topic, but, as a guide, expect to schedule up to five hours of self-study for each hour of teaching.
On our distance-learning and blended-learning courses, the emphasis is very much on independent, self-directed learning and you will be expected to manage your own learning, with the support of your module tutors and various learning technologies. Birkbeck offers study and learning support to undergraduate and postgraduate students to help them succeed. Our Learning Development Service can help you in the following areas:. Our Disability and Dyslexia Service can support you if you have additional learning needs resulting from a disability or from dyslexia.
Our Counselling Service can support you if you are struggling with emotional or psychological difficulties during your studies. Our Mental Health Advisory Service can support you if you are experiencing short- or long-term mental health difficulties during your studies.
Assessment is an integral part of your university studies and usually consists of a combination of coursework and examinations, although this will vary from course to course - on some of our courses, assessment is entirely by coursework. The methods of assessment on this course are specified below under 'Methods of assessment on this course'. Students will then be encouraged to develop their own process and practise through individual development of their own work.
You will be assessed at the end of each of three trimesters on the Dramaturgy and Dramatic Writing module and your Ensemble Devising module. These practical assessments will focus on putting into practice the skills received during that trimester. This may include one or more of the following: script reading, collaborating with writers and analysing and interrogating new work.

These include: Text work, both practical and reflective. This course teaches you the various ways to approach, dissect and shape the building blocks of storytelling structure, narrative arc and character so that you can form your own creative practice by breaking the rules and making your own.
Each project will be the focus of individual tutorials, and then a class workshop led by a guest dramaturg, director or playwright as appropriate. You will then plan the next phase of the research or development of your project.
You also take another option from the list of contextual modules shared with students from other Masters programmes. You will present the second draft of your project for another phase of tutorials and group workshops. Playwriting projects will then be prepared for some form of public rehearsed reading or scratch performance, in extract form — with the writers involved in all aspects of the work. Dramaturgy projects will be given practical support of an appropriate, equivalent kind.
You will further develop your work, with tutorials and workshops and public presentation of work as appropriate, before writing and submitting the finished project. Throughout the year, various seminars and workshops will examine diverse issues that affect writers today, and these will be led by visiting professionals as appropriate. We deploy a range of assessment approaches, each appropriate to the module taken.
Students taking Writing Projects will submit three short playtexts for assessment. Dramaturgy is assessed by a portfolio of analytic reviews, and Creative Intervention in Text by a series of short creative writing projects and writing exercises. Each of the contextual option modules is assessed by a 4, word essay. Final Project leads to the production of a playtext Playwriting , or a Dissertation or equivalent practical project Dramaturgy.
Students prepare a minute piece of performance writing through readings, practical writing workshops, dramaturgical reports and critical evaluation. Dramaturges will document group feedback to write a dramaturgical report for the writer. In the first half of the Summer term they lead workshops and develop the texts through Dramaturgical Report 2.
The Final draft is submitted in July with the Critical Evaluation. Download the programme specification.
