Make sure you check on the university, college or conservatoire website for any updates about course changes as a result of COVID-19.

Course summary

You will be given space in our professionally-equipped studio to develop your skills. You will then work on ‘live’ briefs with your peers across creative arts courses at UCW and Bath Spa University on their numerous shows and shoots throughout the year. UCW Hair, Make-up and Prosthetics for Production students have also recently worked on casualty and incident simulation training exercises for Avon and Somerset Police and Avon Fire and Rescue. With so many film, television and theatrical productions, music events, photoshoots and fashion shows here in the South West, there is a real need for talented production artists and designers with a flair for bringing ideas to life. This course can help you start or progress your career in hairstyling, cosmetics, prosthetics and special effects roles by providing you with the opportunity to enhance your technique alongside studies of the key practices and practitioners underpinning the disciplines. You will put together an extensive portfolio of your work, learn important promotional techniques and work towards a final project to demonstrate both your artistry and understanding of your chosen areas of interest.
