Lecturer in Design for Theatre and Screen
We are looking for a Lecturer on our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre and Screen course at University for the Creative Arts (UCA) in Farnham, Surrey.
About the Role
We are searching for someone who can build on and help expand our current teaching provision and our practice/research environment. We are seeking a talented individual from within the field of design for theatre (knowledge and experience of costume design and making is desirable but not essential), who is passionate about their specialist area, questioning and inventive in their approach to teaching and who would also enjoy working collaboratively to contribute to broader team-taught modules. We are specifically looking for an individual who has the practical skills, knowledge and experience to work with our students to expand their knowledge and skills in communicating design ideas and solutions using both traditional and digital techniques, including drafting/modelling.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
