Course summary


Get prepared for the TV and film industries as a Prosthetics and Special Effects Make-up artist. Develop the fascinating skills of life casting and mould making, and learn how to transform your designs and ideas into a complete character.

Student focus is on the design, manufacture, and application of prosthetic make-up for stage and screen. Learners are exposed to industry-standard techniques, linking both artistic expressions with key workshop manufacturing fundamentals. Each level of study will engage and challenge the student to expand upon their skillset, using a variety of materials within specific professional contexts.By exploring a wide range of materials and practices, students will have the chance to explore every aspect of the special make-up effects artist’s role within the industry. Designs and ideas will materialize through experimentation, and a comprehensive portfolio will emerge - allowing graduates to effectively promote themselves as both creative and highly competent technicians. Our students come from a range of creative backgrounds with disciplines in art & design, media makeup, and model making. The learning environment is inclusive and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and age ranges. The transferable skills that we instill in our students require nothing more than dedication and a desire to learn the craft of these "behind-the-scenes" practices.
