Careful: 'das Skript' (the script) never means 'handwriting'. Although the English word 'script' can also mean handwriting, that is incorrect in German. The German word for handwriting is 'die Handschrift' (handwriting).
Der Arzt hat eine unleserliche Handschrift.
The doctor has illegible handwriting.
You can always recognize which meaning 'Skript' (script/lecture notes) has from context. If it is about film or theater, it means the screenplay. In the context of university and lectures, it refers to the professor's notes or handout. In computer science, it means a small program.
Für die Prüfung lerne ich mit dem Skript zur Vorlesung.
I'm studying for the exam with the lecture notes for the course.
In the German higher education system, the 'Skript' (lecture notes/handout) is a central learning material. It is the official written summary of a lecture that the instructor provides to the students.

In computer science, 'Skript' (script) is often used with verbs that describe a process. Typical combinations are 'ein Skript schreiben' (to write a script), 'ein Skript ausführen' (to execute/run a script), or 'ein Skript laufen lassen' (to let a script run).
Das Skript automatisiert die Datensicherung.
The script automates data backup.
program
Program and script can both refer to executable computer instructions. “Programm” is the broader term for concrete software, while a script is typically a sequence of commands used to automate a task. So “Skript” is often the right choice for such an automated sequence.
Das Skript kopiert jeden Abend automatisch die neuen Kundendaten in einen anderen Ordner.
Every evening, the script automatically copies the new customer data to another folder.
Das Programm verwaltet die Kundendaten und erstellt daraus verschiedene Berichte.
The program manages the customer data and creates various reports from it.
