Overview

What you'll study

This Costume Production (Hons) course at Rose Bruford College combines costume-making techniques with core backstage skills. You learn the basics then develop your making skills producing costumes to be worn and performed in – not just to sit on a stand.

You develop practical backstage skills like costume maintenance, alterations and dressing, working on full-scale productions initially as a wardrobe assistant and then a supervisor. You learn in dedicated workrooms that include pattern cutting tables, half and full-scale stands, fitting rooms, laundry and dying facilities and your own dedicated sewing machine. Trips and visiting lecturers who are all working professionals underpin teaching, and the course also includes drawing skills.
