Lighting design can transform the ambience, purpose and mood of a space or setting. Good lighting is a key consideration when designing residential units, office spaces, hospitals, schools or restaurants. By understanding the science and effects of lighting, spatial designers can take a deeper and more informed approach to incorporate lighting design within their scope of work.
This 12-month work-study programme is targeted primarily at local fresh Polytechnic graduates from relevant full-time design-related courses of study. In this course, you will be equipped with in-depth knowledge and skills to design environments with light. You will learn the functional roles and techniques of light, its psychological and physiological effects, as well as how to optimise light consumption in different environments.
What’s more, you can have the best of both worlds! Get hired as designers and still head back to school to enhance your skills in this vital area. Join us to illuminate your career journey in the growing Interior and Architectural Design industry.
