What you will study

On the BA (Hons) Design for Theatre and Screen course at UCA, we are training our students to create worlds where stories can be told, and costumes for the characters who tell them. The experimentation that we do in order to find these environments searches for ways to hold the narrative in an authentic and meaningful way. We will give you the space for you to find out what you like doing the most and to follow that path.

Career pathways

Choosing to study a creative arts degree is rarely a simple decision and is scarcely a purely financial one. For many, it’s driven by passion and a desire to build a career doing something expressive that gives them as sense of meaning.
