About this programme

NIDA's Bachelor of Fine Arts (Costume) offers education and training in costume construction, management and research in a collaborative learning environment. Students are introduced to the techniques required to produce creative works integral to the role of a costume professional, including costume construction, tailoring, pattern making, period cutting, draping, costume management, millinery and leatherwork. Students learn to apply their skills in increasingly complex situations through practical workshops, exhibitions, installations and research projects, as well as full-scale productions in collaboration with designers and performers. The course includes an industry placement, and prepares students for careers as costume supervisors and creators in the arts and entertainment industries, including theatre, opera, dance, film, television and events.
