4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Art, Design and Media - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Design for Stage and Screen (Costume Design and Construction)

If students finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree.

Costumes are a vehicle to tell stories, convey character and create atmosphere in a performance. This specialist degree focuses on developing both costume design and costume construction skills. Students will learn how to translate their creative ideas into professional, bespoke costumes for theatre, film and television, dance, opera and other performance areas.

Students will study subjects exploring visual research, character and text analysis, contemporary design development and innovative 2D to 3D realization. Explore skills such as corsetry, pattern cutting, tailoring, millinery, costume props, fabric knowledge, and print and dye.
