    When I first qualified as a MUA, back in 09 before everyone was doing it, I got a lot of work experience with short films. TBH it was word of mouth and recommendations/connections that got me the experience so I'd suggest having a word with your tutor to see if they can recommend anything coming up. Try short film company's. In the meantime work on your portfolio because every second person is a MUA and you will want to be on the ball if a good opportunity pops up
