| Entry requirements | You are expected to have a good degree (2:1) in a relevant discipline or practical experience of costume construction and tailoring, with experience of making made to measure garments. Your natural ability, your fit with what and how we teach, your growth and your potential are key factors in our admissions process. We can’t evaluate these solely on your educational achievements, so no matter which course you’re applying for, we look for the following attributes: We want to hear about your costume making experience to date, both in training and/or your professional career. If you do not have a degree in costume design or a related subject, we would like you to demonstrate that you have substantial costume making experience. We want to know how you have pursued your costume career and continued to develop your craft since graduation. If you are applying to us directly from an undergraduate course, we are interested in how you have been preparing for your future professional career and any relevant experience outside of your course. If you do not have a degree, we want to hear what you have done which demonstrates an advanced interest in costume making. You’ll be working collaboratively on complex projects, often under pressure. You’ll work with students from other disciplines, teachers and industry professionals. We want to see that you are able to communicate ideas, respond to direction thoughtfully and can provide critically-informed and considered feedback. We look for evidence that you have a natural curiosity and interest in the world around you and are able to draw from a wide range of experiences and influences in your work. We want to see that you are prepared to embrace all of the opportunities that we offer on this course and more broadly within the Institution. We’d like to know why you’re applying to us and how you think this course will support your development as a costume maker and contribute to your specific career goals. We’d like to see that you have a firm understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. We want to see how you have used your own initiative. We would especially like to hear if you have worked on independent creative projects outside of any training you may have undertaken. |
