General overview
In your first year you will be introduced to the three main specialist areas of set, costume and props. Studies will include introductory workshop practice, pattern cutting, mould making, sculpting, model making, spatial design, and technical drawing. In addition to this, and continuing throughout all levels, modules in Visual Studies, Professional Studies and Contextual Studies will help to develop the theoretical knowledge which underpins practical development.
Level Two allows you to explore two chosen areas of specialism and through negotiated learning develop a range of specific skills and techniques pertinent to both areas. During this year work experience and live assignments are encouraged.
In Level Three you will develop your individual assignments through a minor and major project by concentrating on a single specialist area of study. However, the unique nature of the programme allows for the development and crossover of specialist skills from all three disciplines should you wish to do so.
