Make-Up Artistry

This foundation degree trains students to become qualified make-up artists for the media industry. Practical work sits at the centre of the course, which covers a broad range of application techniques alongside the hairstyling skills that support them. Graduates are prepared for work across editorial, television and film. The course design and the success of its alumni give it a strong industry reputation. Teaching is led by staff who are working industry practitioners, and they use their contacts to arrange work experience and placements. Students can shape parts of the course through their own input, and work-based learning opportunities help them build a professional profile. Creative opportunities exist across Manchester in theatres, studios, agencies and freelance settings. Students also learn how the make-up discipline operates in professional settings.
