Design for Theatre & Screen (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years) - BA (Hons)

University for the Creative Arts

BA (Hons) Design for Theatre & Screen with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year is a five-year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your skills and creativity before you start the first year of the degree course and your fourth year would be an industry placement to further develop your skills and CV. Design the worlds where stories are told – for stage, screen, and everything in between. Whatever's in your imagination – a set, a costume, a puppet, a prop – you'll learn to design and make it here. Bring your vision to life at full scale, so that by the time you graduate, you'll have stood inside environments you designed and watched performers wear costumes you created. The course runs on a dual structure: you're always sketching a concept in one stream while physically building something in another, and over three years that constant back-and-forth between thinking and making is how you find out exactly what kind of designer you are. Industry connections run throughout the whole experience. Creatives from Marvel, the National Theatre, Marvel, and the National Film and Television School (NFTS) have all visited the studios, placements at Apple have turned into real jobs, and recent students have built a 4.8-metre LED-rigged set, made puppets for The Herds, and designed entire virtual environments.
