The course is structured in a way that builds systematically in a logical sequence.
The course consists of three levels, each one lasting one academic year with each level building in complexity and demands. In the introductory stages of the course the students undertake a series of basic skill gathering that informs the learning throughout the course. These consist of basic pattern manipulation, costume interpretation, textile workshops, figure drawing and design skills together with an introduction to research and writing skills through text evaluation and analysis. As the course progresses, artistic and intellectual enquiry deepen to adapt to individual needs and career aspirations within costume design for screen, scenography, costume supervision and costume interpretation.
