Studio, freelance, documentary, artistic, sport, food, architecture, marketing or fashion – these are just some of the specialisms you can carve a career in.
On our photography courses, you’ll be taught by experienced industry professionals, have access to state-of-the-art photography studios, and have fantastic opportunities to get out and about through a combination of workshops, gallery visits, exhibitions, and field trips.
Theatrical and Media Make Up
With our theatrical and media makeup courses, you can get into the exciting world of special effects makeup and film, theatre and TV makeup. As a makeup artist, you would apply makeup and style hair for anyone appearing in front of a camera or a live audience. You may work in film, television, theatre, concerts, photographic sessions or fashion shows.
From a natural look for TV, to using wigs and hairpieces for period dramas or using prosthetics for horror productions – the life of a makeup artist is never dull. The only limit is your imagination! You’ll have fantastic work placement opportunities in theatres, fashion, photoshoots, film and events.

I really enjoy the freedom to explore different media and varied materials through my course. We work on a wide range of things, from branding to glass work. The tutors give you one-to-one support during your lessons, and you can be very creative in lots of different ways.
