The region also provides a wide array of Music and Events venues and organisations. Our university includes the New Adelphi theatre and state-of-the-art performance spaces that allow you to collaborate with students from our courses in Dance and Performance.

There are many different routes to explore.

You may go on to work for an established organisation, or as a freelancer, however, the nature of the costume design industry means that self-employment is increasingly the norm. Our aim is that you will graduate with the entrepreneurial skills you need to seek out, secure and undertake work on a freelance basis.
