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.
In a collaborative and interdisciplinary design studio, you will develop the criticality necessary to create lighting that inspires and excites people.
You will have the space and freedom to develop fully working experiences and prototypes that explore lighting with interaction, experience and placemaking. You will have the opportunity to show your work to and gain feedback from professionals working in industry.
Our design programmes are supported by our comprehensive workshops. In these workshops you will be able to fabricate 3D products that augment your creative practice.
By the end of the programme, you will have developed the skills, knowledge, and professional awareness to innovate and lead in the creative lighting and design sector, producing a final project that showcases both your creative vision and technical expertise, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration.
