NSKI's bachelor program in scriptwriting gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in stage text, film or TV drama. As a student, you will get a thorough introduction to writing drama for various media and with modern forms of expression. NSKI University College educates modern and innovative scriptwriters, with an eye for realistic expressions in film, television and stage production. 

The characteristic thing about our scriptwriting curriculum is the collaboration with our other programs through joint teaching in acting, analysis and improvisation as well as large number of film and theater productions. 

This way you will see your work in accordance with a team of directors and actors. 

NSKI's method for training scriptwriters is unique in Scandinavia, but has been practiced for many years in environments that are at the forefront of screenwriting development. Students are given solid training in dramaturgy, character development and analysis of dramatic texts.

Method Acting as a tool is one of the cornerstones of NSKI University College's education. As a scriptwriter, you will gain insight into the use of the method to improve your own writing technique.

A normal day at NSKI is usually divided into two parts. Before lunch, we have so called morning classes were the main focus is on the technical subjects, and after lunch we focus on the project subjects. Most subjects extend over all three years.

Examples of subjects: Storytelling, From idea to script, From script to screen, and Industry knowledge. 

Examples of projects: "24-hour fly", TV series and One-act plays.

In the fifth semester, the scriptwriting students have one-month internship aimed at their specialization in either stage text or TV drama. NSKI has already signed  agreements with several Norwegian TV producers and theaters for internships, but students also have a possibility  to influence their own internship to a large extent.

During the internship period, students will have the opportunity to utilize knowledge in professional environments, become familiar with professional processes and draw on experiences that will be useful in connection with the bachelor project in the sixth and final semester. At the same time, you build up important contacts and networks and gain relevant experience in the industry that can potentially lead to further work after your studies.

As a trained screenwriter from NSKI, you will have all the tools you need to be able to create unique stories in a number of different disciplines and you will be qualified to work as a scriptwriter, screenwriter, editor or playwriter in both  film-, and TV industry and the performing arts, both nationally and internationally.
