Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: WG46
Here's what Rose Bruford College says about its Creative Lighting Control course.
This course was specifically created in response to industry demand. It develops you as a creative, technically adept professional, and you’ll make imaginative use of a variety of technologies to convey a designer’s vision across different stages and media, or become a lighting designer yourself.
Students learn about both lighting and video programming and design, show control and interactive technologies, networked systems and stage electrics, projection systems and digital visual content, 3D visualisation, computer-aided design, and technical management.
To help you prepare for a successful career in the events, arts and performance industries, you’ll study and collaborate with other courses at the College, applying experimentation, enquiry and creative research to your work.
Working in our well-resourced studio labs, you will learn from our extensive network of industry experts who you’ll work with on projects as you learn specialist skills. Recent experts have included Andy Voller (Lighting Programmer 2016 Olympic Opening Ceremony), Willie Williams (Visual Designer for - U2, David Bowie, Complicité) and Andi Watson (Lighting Designer, Radiohead). During the course you can undertake industry recognised micro-credentials, and you’ll also build your professional knowledge through placements and industry experience with the opportunity to work on real-world events during your studies.
Our outstanding track record of graduate success in the live events industries means currently 100% of graduates from this course have jobs as they leave.
Our graduates work in theatre, live music, live events, film, television, interior and architectural design sectors as lighting and video programmers, designers, creative technologists and technical managers.
"I wanted to study somewhere that could offer me the training and hands-on experience I needed for my career, along with the specialist equipment I wanted to have available to me; Creative Lighting Control was the only course I found that could offer the right level of equipment and experience." James, Creative Lighting Control student
