Program Overview

On this course you will work on exciting costume making and costume supervisory projects. You'll become skilled at producing accurate historical recreations of costumes, contemporary costume and tailoring, as well as expressing imaginative flair.

As well as technical skill, you’ll learn that great costume production depends on your ability to interpret ideas, in addition to being able to place your practice in a wider historical and cultural context. We place real emphasis on research and a deep understanding of social history to support the creation of costumes that tell a narrative within performance. Collaboration is a key aspect of the course and you will work alongside students from the BA (Hons) Performance Design and Film Costume, BA (Hons) Film Production, Make-up for Media and Performance, and Acting courses on stage and film productions.
