Overview
On BA (Hons) Costume, you'll master the skills you need to become a professional costume maker, tailor and supervisor for the film, theatre and events industries.
BA (Hons) Costume course information
BA (Hons) Costume offers a comprehensive approach to the study, interpretation and creation of costume. You'll become skilled at producing accurate historical recreations of costumes as well as expressing imaginative flair through creative and conceptual costume making. In addition, you'll learn the art of tailoring and couture dressmaking.
Costume supervision is integral to the course and can be described as interpreting a two-dimensional costume design into a three-dimensional costume through sourcing and procuring garments. This exciting role places you at the heart of live productions, as you'll be key to ensuring the smooth running of the wardrobe department.
Our costume courses are award-winning too. The former BA (Hons) Costume and Performance Design course was awarded the Queens Anniversary Prize for its ‘distinguished degree-level education in costume design for the UKs leading creative industries.
On BA (Hons) Costume, you'll 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, youll 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'll work alongside students from the BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance, BA (Hons) Film Production, BA (Hons) Make-up for Media and Performance, and BA (Hons) Acting courses on stage and film productions.
