Costume Design and Construction

About this course

Costume design and construction is a craft and creative discipline that sits at the heart of theatrical, film, and television production. A great costume does more than dress a character: it communicates who they are, where and when they live, and what they want, working in dialogue with lighting, set design, music, and performance to create a unified artistic experience. The designer must research the historical and cultural context of the production, develop a visual concept that serves the director's interpretation, and then work with constructors and suppliers to bring that concept to life within the practical constraints of budget, time, and the requirements of performance. At Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, this four-year full-time programme teaches you to research, design, and construct costumes for performers of many kinds, across theatre, opera, dance, film, and televis
