Luke Ackroyd

2016/17 MA Scriptwriting

Hey everyone, I’m Luke: Scriptwriter, YouTuber and part time bank robber... Okay, maybe not the last one. I graduated from Bournemouth University with one of those BA (Hons) Scriptwriting degrees two years ago, but couldn’t stay away. Now I’m back, studying a postgraduate degree in the same subject. It’s a lot of fun so far and it’s fantastic to be back at BU. Out of the course, I’m often playing board games, making silly videos and meeting up with friends. I’m going to be making a bunch of Vlogs for the university, so please feel free to check them out!
