Radio and TV Dramaturgy and Scriptwriting

The Bachelor’s degree develops comprehensive creative skills in the field of audiovisual, radio and drama production.
You will write your own journalistic, prose and dramatic texts, create scripts for film, television and radio and adapt literary works. You will gain experience in the whole creative process – from the theme through the script, directing, working with actors to editing and post-production.
The course includes working with sound and audiovisual equipment, cooperation with other JAMU studios and the opportunity to participate in projects for Czech Radio, Czech Television or independent studios.
In addition to practical teaching, you develop theoretical knowledge of media studies, poetics, aesthetics, sociology of media and the history of Czech and world theatre.

Graduates of the Bachelor’s programme are employed as scriptwriters and authors of programmes on radio, television and streaming platforms, assistant dramaturgs, cultural publicists, reviewers and creators of documentary and drama podcasts.
They can also work as creative workers in advertising and media agencies or pursue a master’s degree in drama.

Practical exercises, original projects and their reflection are the basis of the study.
Students develop their ideas from the initial idea to the final script and implementation. The creative process is guided by joint screenings, listening sessions, debates and individual consultations. Emphasis is placed on collaborative skills, analytical thinking and developing a distinctive authorial approach.

The aim of the Bachelor’s degree is to train independent and creative authors, dramaturgs and scriptwriters who can combine technical skills, artistic thinking and critical reflection of contemporary media production.
