Costume for Performance

At LSA I was on the Craft Pathway, specialising in costume. During my time at LSA I was able to start my costume journey beginning as someone with no costume experience and leaving with a thorough knowledge of the subject.

LSA helped to not just set me up for higher education but also the Film and entertainment industry which can be very hard to navigate, especially with no prior experience. Not only have I gained enough experience to get into University, but I have been able to meet and network with so many inspiring, talents over my two years at LSA, many who I am still in contact with now. LSA was the best two years of my educational journey and I would recommend LSA to anyone who has a love and passion for screen and entertainment.

Multimedia Journalism and NCTJ Diploma in Journalism

LSA helped me unleash my creative juices, and my time there helped me develop background knowledge about the creative industries. I would highly recommend LSA to those who want to unleash their creativity.
