Where Beauty Craft Meets Professional Excellence
The Faculty of Cosmetology combines technical beauty skills with professionalism, hygiene, creativity and business awareness. The programme is designed for students who want to work in beauty and wellness environments or build their own enterprises, bridging craft-level practical training with professional salon management.
Students learn through demonstrations, supervised practical work, client-service simulations and portfolio development. Emphasis is placed on safe practice, cleanliness, customer care, creativity and professional presentation. Client-facing simulations make this faculty distinctly hands-on from the earliest stages.
Business management and entrepreneurship is directly embedded in the study areas, making self-employment a core expected outcome. All applicants must be prepared for practical training and comply with health, hygiene and safety requirements — a unique condition specific to this faculty.
