The School of Media and Communication at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London are looking for a proactive and innovative Course Leader for our BA (Hons) Costume for Performance course. Leadership of this undergraduate course comes with exciting opportunities to prepare students for a wide variety of related industry roles and to drive the future direction of the course, in line with UAL strategies, so that graduates can excel as global creatives in a variety of contexts.

The course is undergoing review in the academic year 2022 and this presents a real opportunity for the successful applicant to make their mark on its future shape and direction. This highly acclaimed course has the potential to build on its current strengths and to grow into expanded areas for Costume. We are looking for a Course Leader to drive this work forward and to lead the course into its future.

In this key role, you will be responsible for the academic leadership of the BA (Hons) Costume for Performance course, including the day to day management of staff and all areas of learning, teaching and assessment of students as well as resources allocated. You will lead on the process of course development, modifications, major changes, validation and review by the University, external agencies and professional bodies with the Programme Director and Dean.

About you

You will have expertise and knowledge of academic leadership, both traditional and emerging practice in Costume and will understand its place in the developing cultural, creative and commercial sectors and the opportunities this presents. You will have the confidence to translate this knowledge into a forward-thinking vision and direction that will take this successful BA course to its next iteration during our move to Stratford and the East Bank in 2023. You will have the ability to establish excellent industry connections and networks and will leverage the significant opportunities presented for Costume in our move to Stratford in order to develop a progressive and highly regarded undergraduate experience.

A relevant degree-level qualification is essential and will ideally be supported by an existing teaching qualification.
