BA (Hons) Make-up for Media and Performance gives you the skills that you need to play a key creative role in performance, fashion, film or television.

Our recent graduates have worked on television and film productions (such as The Last of Us, The Marvels, Paddington in Peru, The Gentlemen, Thor: The Dark World, Wheel of Time, The Crown, Ted Lasso, Doctor Who, Coronation Street, and Casualty), theatre productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the English National Opera, musicals (such as Tina, Wicked, Mary Poppins, Matilda and Priscilla Queen of the Desert), and at London Fashion Week and Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden.

The make-up artist is an important member of any production team, and youll have the chance to work with students who are studying BA (Hons) Acting, Film Production, Costume, Design for Costume and Performance, Commercial Photography, Visual Effects, Fashion and Fashion Communication to create ‘live collaborative projects. On this course, youll learn a diverse range of make-up skills. Youll study make-up and hair design for drama, ballet, opera and music. A different perspective will give you the skills for fashion and photography shoots. Youll also construct wigs and hairpieces and create prosthetic make-up FX for film and television. In short, youll develop skills that are a real asset to a wide range of performance industries, from theatre to TV, and from the music business to the world of fashion and film.
