Design for Theatre & Screen BA (Hons)
In an industry where designers and makers are called upon to be all-rounders who can work with a wide range of professionals, you’ll learn how to create dynamic environments, costumes and props on our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre and Screen course.
Throughout your degree you will explore, with increasing responsibility, your own artistic direction as you drive projects from design to practical realisation. You’ll be supported by experienced senior lecturers, visiting lecturers, specialist tutors and qualified technicians as you learn all the essential design, making and technical skills you need for your career.
These include designing and making for theatre spaces, designing and making for screen-based productions, technical drawing, costume, set and prop making.
Our dedicated workshop spaces on our Rochester campus offer you a fantastic range of the latest facilities, including equipment for costume making, metal work, woodwork, laser cutting, 3D printing, casting and carving.
In year two, we offer a range of opportunities to put what you have learned into practice via work placements and collaborative projects. Previous placements and collaborations have included working in specialist prop making, costume and scenic workshops, working at West End and regional theatres, creating sets for television at Maidstone TV Studios, and model-making for stop-motion animation at the National Film and Television School. Our aim is for you to arrive in the professional workplace environment with the key skills, relevant knowledge and confidence you’ll need.
Your studies will culminate with an in-depth focus on developing your creative interest and design identity, on delivering industry standards in 2D and 3D work, on refining key-skills within the workshops, and on promoting yourself effectively through your website.
Throughout the course you will receive an in-depth understanding of the history and theory of theatre and film arts, underpinned by art and design history, which will prepare you to engage effectively with professionals after graduation.
Please note: this course has changed it's name for 2020 entry and has previously been named BA (Hons) Theatre Design.
