Course summary

The MA Historical Costume course is designed to introduce students with a pre-existing interest in historical clothing to a range of historical costume practices and the fundamentals of research in the field of dress and costume history. It then encourages you to develop an individual specialism in the field that's aligned with your own artistic and professional aspirations, allowing you to demonstrate an advanced level of research and creative output within that specialism. At the beginning of the MA Historical Costume course, you're given the opportunity to develop a grounding in different approaches to historical costume, including archival research, historical making and costume design and styling. You're then helped to develop individual research projects that tie together a specific element of costume with the opportunity to do detailed research into a specific historical period. You're encouraged to develop these projects with regard for diverse, ethical, and sustainable practice in the creative industries, and to consider the MA as a transformative step towards a future in costume.
