You need to get in touch with the staff at the uni and have a discussion with them. Are you able to attend an open day? There is a Course Leader listed on the website - start there.
It can be quite difficult to get feedback on these kinds of courses.
If it was me, I would want to know:
Who would be teaching me and what their credentials are.
What students have gone on to do after the course - specific examples not generalities.
How long has the course been running for.

Hi
Thankyou for your reply, the 'one' lecturer who runs/teaches the course does not have amazing credentials, very vague ones actually.
I don't think the course has been running long at all.
So there is nothing much to measure or assess.
I will dig a bit deeper, the content might be relevant but I don't want someone to teach me how to be a mediocre screenwriter, I want one to help me be a great one!
Thanks

At post-grad level, it's very important to do this - otherwise your time and money can be wasted.
I did an MA in Creative Writing - the quality of the tutors is so important. I was taught and supervised by well-known published authors and scriptwriters.
There may be part-time staff brought in to deliver specialist modules (this is quite common) but names might be difficult to pin down till nearer the start of the course. Part-timers can be highly-experienced, still working in the industry, so if you can get any info on them, that would be good. So in the meantime, dig a bit deeper on this and delay making a decision until you are sure.
