Studying Costume at AUB means stepping straight into the heart of storytelling. Every stitch, fabric choice, and design decision helps bring a character to life – and that’s what makes our work so powerful. Here, you’ll collaborate across disciplines, learning alongside directors, filmmakers, actors, and designers in real film studio and theatre environments, gaining the confidence and creativity to tell stories that truly connect with audiences. We’re passionate about supporting you as you find your own voice and place within the industry – because we believe the next generation of storytellers will come from right here.
