Course summary
Our BA (Hons) Studio Practice top-up degree in Make-Up & Hair Design at UCA Epsom is an opportunity to bolster your existing skills and/or prepare for postgraduate study in this niche field of the fashion industry. In taking this course – which covers the third year of our regular BA (Hons) Make-up & Hair Design degree, you’ll be required to develop and expand your skills, responding to developments of technology and engaging in relevant cultural conversations. Your understanding of make-up and hair for fashion will expand to encompass issues of diversity, sustainability and competing models of modernity and their application to different industries including, but not limited to, fashion. It will both synthesise your learning and focus on your area of specialisation. During your studies you’ll have the chance to collaborate with students across our fashion and textiles courses, working on photoshoots and projects. You’ll be taught by our experienced team of academic and technical experts and have access to a range of facilities to help you achieve your creative vision.
