Delivery is by distance learning with a comprehensive course handbook, examples of best practice, project templates and telephone and email support being available as necessary through our online VLE, individual and group tutorials, online forums and bulletin boards. Specialist knowledge will be delivered by a diverse team of staff and visiting guest lecturers with a variety of relevant backgrounds and experience. Relevant site visits may be employed at appropriate stages.

Students will learn to apply the basic principles of light to a lighting design suitable for residential architecture in all areas of internal living; this will lead to a core competence in lighting design for residential interior design. Also an appreciation of commercial lighting design techniques required to satisfy some retail environments, small office, reception areas, board rooms and transitional spaces (such as corridors). An appreciation of designing for commercial spaces such as bars and restaurants will further broaden the scope of work for the future interior design practitioner.

All elements of assessment must be passed
1. Technical awareness as lighting schedules and design journal (50%) [Learning Outcome 1]
2. Planning and detailing as plans and drawing and design journal (50%) [Learning Outcome 2]

The assessments for Creative Lighting 1 and 2 will be submitted together.
