Our Aesthetics BA (Hons) / FdA degree offers a
comprehensive exploration of the theories and principles underpinning the
rapidly evolving field of non-surgical aesthetics, making it ideal for both
therapists and non-therapists alike. Designed to equip you with a broad range
of transferable skills, this programme will deepen your understanding of the
scientific, cultural, and ethical frameworks shaping the aesthetics industry.
As demand for a qualified, knowledgeable workforce in the
non-surgical aesthetic market continues to rise, this degree presents a unique
opportunity to engage with the theoretical foundations of aesthetics in a
dynamic academic environment at University College Birmingham.
Throughout the course, you will examine core theoretical
concepts in areas such as the science of skincare, skin health, ageing
theories, and the physiological processes that inform cosmetic interventions.
While practical applications such as laser and light technologies or chemical
peels are integrated into the curriculum, emphasis is on developing a critical
understanding of the science, ethics and principles behind these procedures.
The course encourages you to reflect on the socio-cultural implications of
aesthetic practices and their impact on individual identity and wellbeing.
In addition to theoretical study, you will engage with
industry professionals and experts through conferences, guest speakers,
mentorship opportunities, and networking events, fostering a well-rounded
understanding of the sector. You will also have the chance to participate in
educational trips, including an exclusive visit to the Mesoestetic laboratory
and production facility in Spain, further enriching your academic and
professional development.
