The field’s concept is based on the assumption that the professions of television and radio dramaturge and screenwriter require both specialised training and a broader erudition in the field of cultural history, mass communication and a diverse range of artistic and journalistic genres.

The aim of this education is to create dramaturges and screenwriters who are technically skilled as well as thoughtful and artistically creative. Therefore, in addition to lectures on the creation of works from the radio and television genres, the study programme also includes courses focused on the social context of mass media and culture in general, film typology and its history, art criticism and selected chapters from poetics and literary history. In creative writing seminars and in learning about media genres, students are systematically led towards independent attempts at creating journalistic, prose and dramatic works. Special attention is paid to radio and television adaptations of literary works.

Studies within the Faculty of Theatre will enable students to experience and discover a number of other fields of dramatic arts, their events and projects; they will also meet with public-service media personalities.
