“Rose Bruford was a creative, collaborative and encouraging environment. The theatre design course set me up with skills moving forward to work in theatre with a really good understanding of the industry. I was later able to go on to do a Master’s degree thanks to a strong portfolio of design work from my time at RBC and afterwards in the industry. I left with a great foundation of skills and the small tutor group size and teaching from caring tutors and skilled visitors meant I felt like real care went into the course and into sending us out as young designers.”
