Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: J995
Here's what University of South Wales says about its Sound, Lighting and Live Event Technology course.
The Sound, Lighting and Live Event Technology course will give you the technical and organisational skills to transform performances into inspiring events.
You'll study sound and video systems, lighting control and design, network technology, and rigging, for use in concerts, festivals, studios, corporate events, themed attractions and theatre. And you will gain valuable insights into project management and problem solving along the way. You will be interested in the backstage running of shows and making performances technically awesome.
The technical events industry is challenging and exciting, there is a certain buzz about working to the wire, and a camaraderie from that experience. We have been running this kind of course for over 16 years, all of our staff are either currently involved in the industry or have been for many years. We don’t just do theory, we do it for real.

Uni's advice team is very hostile against students they regard you as their enemy and Uni's accommodation team is careless about the problems within the halls including dirty blocks and issues among students inside the blocks

Library did a lot to me this academic year for both borrowing books or using it as place to study in. there one thing I am not happy with is the food being served in canteen, too small portion and too expensive. All other facilities are good.
