Think of a dramatic performance that you loved and you can probably picture the characters’ costumes. On this highly respected BA (Hons) in Costume Design and Construction course you will learn how to research, design and construct costumes for performers of many kinds.

Costume design and construction are vital when it comes to creating successful theatre, film and TV productions. It is a creative and challenging career: you need to know the theory and history of costume design, how to make costumes physically and how to manage the wardrobe of a live production.

At the heart of this vocational course are the professional practice modules where you will work as part of a team delivering the costumes for a series of live projects working in collaboration with partner organisations and companies.

You will graduate with the competence, understanding and experience that employers in this creative field are looking for.
