Course overview
Our unique January-start short course 'Fashion Design with Costume' not only provides an excellent grounding in the ever-expanding costume industry but also provides opportunities for progression to our higher-level courses such as HNC Costume and HND Fashion Design.
Over the past 10 years Scotland has grown its connections within film and TV on a global scale and more jobs within the industry are now available as a result. This course will give you the skills needed to progress your career in the costume industry. You will learn about theatrical design, how to construct patterns for creating costumes from scratch, as well as learning the art of millinery, covering important techniques such as surface decoration, and learning sewing machine skills.

Here are just some of the skills this NQ course will cover:
- Theatrical Design

Entry requirements
Entry is by interview and candidates are expected to show evidence of their interest in the subject. This may include a folio of work showing fashion designs, art work or garments you have made or customised.
