Costume is a vital and exciting part of the storytelling process within performance. A costume subconsciously communicates social and cultural clues, backstory, and identity to an audience, aiding the performer in their delivery of a character.
BA (Hons) Costume for Film draws on over 30 years’ experience in the field and has a strong focus on costume for screen-based media. You'll learn to become costume designers, costume makers, and costume supervisors. These different areas of specialism reflect the structure of costume roles within the creative industries, and enabling you to graduate with a clear path into industry. The course also aligns with the developing role of the creative industries in the UK economy, and with the need identified by Skills England for flexible, modular learning approaches that combine practical experience with theoretical knowledge. and that establish clear professional development pathways.
If you choose the BA (Hons) Costume for Film pathway, you'll have the opportunity to work on film projects in every year of your degree, and to gain real expertise in costume specifically as it relates to the screen industries, working alongside other students in related disciplines within the context of a film school environment.
From your second year onwards, you'll have the opportunity to specialise by selecting one of three focused specialisms:
- Costume design – exploring creative ideas, research, and realisation of designs for screen and stage.
- Costume making – developing advanced techniques in tailoring, construction, embellishment, and period accuracy.
- Costume supervision – focusing on the management of costumes across theatre productions and films, including sourcing, budgeting, organisation, and leadership of making teams.
