Course Description
Our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre and Screen (with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement.
Create environments, costumes and props for stage and screen and learn from passionate, professional designers, who know the industry inside out, on our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre & Screen degree course.
Taught at UCA Farnham, you’ll put design, making and technical skills into practice as you take part in exciting work placements and collaborative projects, and learn from visiting lecturers with incredible experience – from production designers for Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, and to designers for the Royal Ballet.
You’ll also consider the world around you as you learn and make, so you’ll enter the industry fully versed in climate and carbon auditing and leadership, and you’ll connect with cutting-edge research projects both domestically and internationally.
This course also has strong links with the likes of The Bush Theatre, The Young Vic, Farnham Maltings, and The English National Opera where you’ll attend workshops and performances and our longstanding relationship with the National Film and Television School often leads to work placements for large cohorts of students each year.
