- Learn traditional construction skills and experiment with newer materials and techniques
- Plan and build sets for a variety of contexts including theatre, film, television, events and advertising
- Undertake work in a professional setting within the industry

The Set Construction for Stage and Screen course is ideal for students seeking a creative arts-based career, including an interest in building with wood and metal.

You will learn to work independently and be resourceful, and will develop specific scenic construction skills to the high professional level required to meet design briefs and the requirements of the industry in which you plan to work. The training will principally be in theatre, but these skills are widely transferable to many different media environments including theatre, film, television, events and advertising.
