Course programme

Level 4 (First Year)

The emphasis of the units in the first year is giving a solid grounding in both Performance Design and Costume Interpretation enabling students to experience the creative processes from different perspectives.

Level 5 (Second Year)

The second year begins in the autumn term with Creative Realisation: Design or Interpretation. Following this, you will embark on the Advanced Skills unit. These workshops develop knowledge and skills.

Level 6 (Final Year)

The focus of the final year is to test your ability to ‘do it for real’. We really believe in learning by doing as well as learning on speculative projects, so the course is focused on real live film, theatre and site-specific projects.
