Cert in Certificat en scénarisation

This Certificate in Screenwriting at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi is a 30-credit, on-campus program with admission in fall and winter terms. It explores varied screenwriting practices and develops screenwriters attuned to digital culture as well as conventional media such as cinema and television, building theoretical and practical competencies for constructing scenarios and narratives across genres through repeated writing exercises, while situating audiovisual and literary productions in their historical context. The 30-credit curriculum combines seven required courses, covering film analysis, writing for emerging media, narratology, literary semiotics, creative writing, screenwriting and interactivity, and a dramatic-writing workshop, with three elective courses chosen from fifteen options including animation, documentary cinema, video-game design, and cyberculture theory. Admission is open to DEC holders, to applicants who have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of at least 2.3 on 4.3, and to applicants able to show appropriate knowledge and relevant practical experience in literary studies, cinema, theatre, or digital arts, supported by a portfolio and, where needed, an interview.
