This foundation degree has been developed and aims to focus on make-up and hair for the Creative Industries such as film, television, theatre, editorial and private clients/ public sector.
The programme of study is intended to provide specialist skills in makeup application and hair to cater to the needs of the wide and varied creative arts and industries.
It is aimed primarily towards learners who, after two years of study wish to enter the industry, pursue freelance/self-employment or continue with further study. The programme content and output will enable you to compile a professional portfolio to showcase your practice of makeup and/or hair skills to aid employability and career opportunities.
You will adopt practical and critical approaches to problem-solving in the design, development, and application of make-up artistry and hairstyling in various industry contexts.
Indicative content for practical skills are:
Ultimately students will acquire a range of transferable skills, self-awareness, and self-confidence, enabling the realisation of individual potential, personal, social and professional development and strategies for professional practice and lifelong learning.
Teaching strategies include practical demonstrations and applications, lectures, seminars, group critiques, staff and student-led presentations, tutorials, live projects (competitions, work experience), essays, portfolio of work, visiting professionals and visits to galleries, museums and makeup industry environments.
Make-up and hair kit (a list of kit items with recommended suppliers) is sent to students before the course starts.
Learning methods include:
Learning strategies have been devised to develop your practical skills as a makeup artist in conjunction with the development of academic, theoretical, personal, professional and transferable skills.
Students will learn from a variety of methods such as; practical demonstrations and applications, lectures, seminars, group critiques, staff and student-led presentations, tutorials, live projects (competitions, work experience), essays, portfolio of work, visiting professionals and visits to galleries, museums and makeup industry environments.
A significant amount of personal study time is expected to be undertaken such as research, design development, experimentation, reflection, essay writing and seminar presentations.
Our students come from a diverse range of starting points and with many and varied aspirations. Our teaching and learning methods build on this diversity, by progressively developing self-reflective learning and research, enabling students to develop their own practice, to engage in learning that is active, collaborative, holistic and increasingly self-managed and to realise their individual potential to achieve their goals.
We provide a supportive environment, within which teaching and learning strategies are student-centred and are designed to develop independent learning through negotiated, self-initiated briefs and assignments. Tutorials form a part of this approach.
In year 1 you will build on your knowledge of the subject to enable progression to year 2.

A range of formative and summative assessment methods are used on the programme, determined by the aims and learning outcomes of individual modules.
The most common method for practical modules is the presentation of a body of work in portfolio form (consisting of practical assessments) supported by preparatory work (sketchbooks and visual learning journals, with design development or technical skills, reflection and annotation).
Assessment methods for academic/theory modules consist of either a portfolio of work or individual essays, journals and seminar presentations.
The emphasis at level 4 is on the assessment of key practical and academic skills. This is further developed at level 5 with more specialist skills, theory, independent learning and higher levels of criticality.
Your qualifications could include:
Admission is normally based on your portfolio and interview.
Non-standard applicants will be required to produce evidence of their ability to study at the Higher Education level. Short-course and relevant work experience may be taken into account. Non-standard applicants will also be interviewed and may be required to complete a piece of written work as part of their application. Claims for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) are welcomed by the College. Students should consult the admissions tutor if they wish to claim such recognition.
Applicants will be invited to an interview and present a portfolio of practical work. This portfolio may consist of research, design development and work in progress (such as sketchbooks, visual journal) or finished pieces of work in the form of images, photographs, actual 3-d pieces. We also consider individual applicants who can demonstrate relevant learning, work/voluntary experience, using our Recognition of Prior Learning process.
