This course is taught at Northbrook MET’s West Durrington Campus in Worthing – a dedicated creative arts campus for art, design, theatre and music... This course has been devised in response to industry and student-led demand for practical training in make-up and hairdressing techniques for theatre, film, TV, fashion, festival, carnival and entertainment arenas. The course consists of a 12-unit programme which carefully balances academic study with skill and craft development, as well as production/event experience and industry placements... As a specialist course, it is based within our theatre department but also shares close links with our photography, music and fashion departments, creating unique opportunities for students to practise their arts in live creative contexts. These are extended through involvement with the rich cultural environment provided by Brighton, the surrounding region and London... Students have gained work experience on a variety of high profile theatre, film and TV sets, including BBC series and Royal Opera House productions.
