What our students say
"The tutors on this degree were specialists in their field and had real industry experience. Their teaching really helped open my eyes to the industry and the different avenues you can go down as a make-up artist. The degree was very student-led in terms of the projects we did, and it was great to be able to create bespoke looks and explore our creativity. We also had visits from industry professionals such as wig makers, and this was really useful in helping us to gain more knowledge and develop our skills."
