In September we welcomed the new 16 week students and the new One Year HE students. Here are a few picture from the first two weeks of the 16 week course.

Yes, last week saw leaving drinks for the Summer 2011 course, and therefore the final course of the 2010/11 academic year. Here are some pictures from the recent Middlesex graduation and the start of the complete make-up artist courses and the end of the 16 week course.
