This unique programme will give you: An in-depth understanding of the media make-up industry. Insight into the role of make-up artists in relation to stage, TV and film, fashion editorial and promotional shoots.

The research skills required to ensure the quality and accuracy of character portrayal. Skills in the art of hair work, character development, body painting, postiche (wig-making) and prosthetics. A comprehensive portfolio of work to show prospective employers. The opportunity to undertake work-based learning and live projects in the media world. Teaching and Assessment The BA (Hons) follows a modular structure, and takes your learning and skills to a further level. At the heart of this course is a series of projects designed to develop your research skills and help you appreciate media make-up and related areas of visual culture. Students are encouraged to specialise in a particular make-up discipline and develop their skills in that area. As a result, you can expect to graduate from the course with a strong portfolio in your chosen field. Progression Opportunities Students can progress onto postgraduate studies. Career Progression On successful completion of this course you will be equipped with a high level of subject practical skills and a portfolio of work. Students often take up employment opportunities within theatre, television and film productions as well as working with make-up agencies in fashion and editorial.
