Studio Practice (Make-up & Hair Design) (Top-Up) - BA (Hons)

University for the Creative Arts

Master your techniques and find your visual voice. Learn to refine your skills as a makeup and hair designer via extensive studio practice, surrounded by talented creatives across fashion design and fashion image. In this intensive one year top-up, with lessons taught in studios as well as classrooms – you’ll master both technical skills and academic theory. You'll work alongside other fashion students on collaborative briefs and cross-discipline projects – understanding how your artistry fits into the wider context of an image, campaign, brand, film, event, live performance. It’s exposure that sharpens your skills and mirrors the reality of professional sets, where the best creatives understand every role in the room. The year centres on a self-directed major project: a substantial body of work that reflects your interests, your ambitions, and the creative identity you've been building. Supported by independent research and professional planning, you'll leave with a portfolio that can go wherever you do – fashion, film, editorial, beauty brands, or beyond.
