Course summary

Overview

On BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance, learn the skills youll need to become a professional costume designer in the film and television industry and to design sets, costumes, props and puppets for theatre, live performance, festivals and events.

BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance course information

BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance (DCP) trains students to work as costume designers in film and television, and as set and costume designers for theatre, live performance, festivals and events.

This course produces adaptable and innovative designers with a sought-after professional skill set, an achievement that's recognised by our accreditation with ScreenSkills, the industry-led skills body for the screen industries.

In addition to training students in costume and stage design, our ‘on-set skills strand teaches our students how to work in the costume management and supervision departments of film and TV production companies. Other DCP students go on to become scenic artists, prop and puppet makers, to work as designers in site-specific and outdoor performance, or to become designers and producers in the events and exhibitions industry.

Our students learn the role of the costume and performance designer for grad films and for outdoor performances. They often see their designs evolve from their initial sketchbook ideas to pitches and collaboration and into full production. Every year, our Level 6 students see some of their set designs fully realised for live AUB Productions and their costume designs made and tailored by students on our partner course BA (Hons) Costume.

It's important to note when making your degree choice that BA (Hons) Costume at AUB focuses on the making of costumes, rather than on costume design. If you're into costume and stage design, then BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance is the course for you.

BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance at AUB lets you dive into everything from designing live theatre shows to life-drawing, digital costume illustration, scale modelmaking and more. The creative buzz in our well-equipped studios trains you for the pace and intensity of the professional costume and performance design industry. Our aim is to help you develop the visual skills, collaboration and creative freedom of expression that every working designer needs.

Placement year

All undergraduate courses at AUB offer an optional placement year, to be taken between your second and third years of study.

If youre unsure about this optional placement, you dont need to decide now.
