MA Historical Costume

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.

We encourage application from students with a broad range of qualifications and we welcome students from all educational backgrounds. We'll take into account the knowledge and skills that you've developed outside the classroom as well as your previous qualifications.
