The course is structured in a way that builds systematically in a logical sequence.

The course consists of three levels, each one lasting one academic year with each level building in complexity and demands. In the introductory stages of the course the students undertake a series of basic skill gathering that informs the learning throughout the course. These consist of basic pattern manipulation, costume interpretation, textile workshops, figure drawing and design skills together with an introduction to research and writing skills through text evaluation and analysis. As the course progresses, artistic and intellectual enquiry deepen to adapt to individual needs and career aspirations within costume design for screen, scenography, costume supervision and costume interpretation.

Graduates form this course have gone on to design and make costumes for theatres and film studios all over the world.

Although the course focuses on costume and set design for shows, films and new performance disciplines, the skills you learn will prepare you for a wide range of other careers.

Costume and Performance Design are diverse and demanding subjects – you need to be interested in art, design and all genres of theatre and film. You’ll discover how to create whole new worlds on this exciting and creative course. As well as technical skill, you’ll learn that great design depends on your ability to interpret ideas. We place a real emphasis on conceptual work.

You’ll work alongside Film, Make-Up and Acting students on stage and in ‘live’ productions. While your eventual career may not be in design and making, we believe that understanding the overall production process is what sets our students apart and gives them an edge.
