LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

To assess applicants meet Entry Requirements - It is required that candidates undergo an interview before offer of a place can be made and submit:
  • Resume or CV of work and study experience
  • A Written Statement with the reasons for wanting to undertake course
  • Photograph of yourself – head and shoulders only
  • Make-up folio presentation

The interview is conducted on the Prahran campus. In the interview you will be asked to present a folio of work. This could include any of the following:

  • makeup you may have designed or applied in productions through school, self-taught or as part of previous work employment
  • examples of application of make-up on yourself or others
  • design ideas
  • images of hair and make-up styling that inspire you. These may come from magazines, or from film or stage performances

This folio can be shown digitally in the interview or as a word document or art journal. The folio is used as a talking point for the interview. Our teachers understand that some applicants may have no prior make-up design skills, so images of make-up and hair designs that inspire you are just as relevant.
