Program Details
Lighting design brings together art and science: requiring the designer to apply both creative flair and technical understanding to create visually appealing and effective spaces. To do this, lighting designers require a firm understanding of a range of concepts: from optics, electricity, visual perception, ergonomics, standards and regulations, energy efficiency, environmental issues, and health and wellbeing; to the art of design.
Lighting professionals work in a variety of roles and project areas: lighting designers may be engaged to work on a range of applications, including residential, commercial or healthcare interiors, façade lighting, road and tunnel lighting, sports lighting, public area lighting, and theatre or events lighting.
The Advanced Diploma in Lighting Design begins with a basis in key scientific concepts in light, combined with an understanding of the human factors involved in visual perception. This basis is followed by the development of fundamental lighting design theory for interior, exterior, and special applications, accompanied by experience using design software tools. This design knowledge is completed with the experience offered by authentic design projects and dedicated development of skills for professional practice as lighting designers.
Upon completion, students should be able to:
- Gain expertise in utilizing cutting-edge software tools to create and analyze sophisticated lighting designs, positioning them at the forefront of technological advancements in the industry.
- Develop the skills necessary to manage complex lighting projects from conception to completion, ensuring readiness for professional challenges.
- Gain the knowledge necessary to interact with a client and produce lighting outcomes that meet technical and aesthetic needs and are able to convey emotive elements of the visual environment to all stakeholders.
