This programme focuses on creative applications of light, enabling you to explore optical fibres, LEDs, and projection-based techniques alongside traditional architectural and daylighting approaches. You will develop the ability to analyse, design, prototype, and document lighting solutions, integrating both technical understanding and imaginative experimentation. Working in a shared studio space with other creative design courses there is room for cross disciplinary exploration and learning.
This degree allows you to explore lighting in a range of interior and exterior contexts, from heritage and cultural spaces to immersive installations and experimental art projects.
Modules benefit by having input from industry specialists, guest lecturers, and site visits, providing exposure to professional practice and live project opportunities. You will be taught by staff who are actively involved in the fields they teach.
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:2 or above in an art & design or related discipline (architecture, creative computing & engineering design)
We may also consider lesser qualifications if you have sufficient professional work experience within the industry.
All candidates are interviewed with a portfolio of creative work or technical/business projects. Applicants from overseas can be interviewed by teleconference with an online portfolio.
