Study Details: Our MA courses are between one and two years in length, depending on the subject and mode of study.
Historical Costume supports and develops advanced practitioners who have the ambition to explore, challenge and redefine the relationship between a historical artefact and the redesigned and interpreted costume in a contemporary context.
This course can be studied full- or part-time from September or full-time from January.
MA Historical Costume engages you in the potential of performance design and garment construction to explore complex ideas; some of which could stray into other areas of artistic experimentation.
