Duration

(one year full time, 2 years part time)
 
Requirements
The normal minimum qualifications for entering the programme are a second class honours degree of a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. The qualification must have been obtained after a course of study extending over not less than three years in a university or educational institution of university rank. Qualifications in Architecture, Building, Economics, Engineering, European Studies, History, Planning, Social Sciences and Surveying are among the main relevant fields, but can be in such other fields as are deemed appropriate.

A second acceptable qualification is corporate membership of one of the following UK professional institutions: the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE); the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB); the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE); the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA); the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS); and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).

A third acceptable qualification is a degree of lower than second class honours standard, or an equivalent overseas qualification, obtained after at least three years study in a university or institution of university rank, in a subject appropriate to the course, plus extensive background and experience in the field. The latter implies at least two years’ experience as a professional at a senior level.

For applicants without a first degree or full professional membership, but with relevant and substantial work experience in the field, a special qualifying examination may be set. Details of this route for applications can be obtained from the Bartlett’s Graduate Office.

100 word description

The MSc Light and Lighting (LL) is Europe’s long-standing specialist graduate lighting course. The course attracts participants with diverse backgrounds in architecture,
interior design, industrial design, various engineering disciplines, science, arts and theatre subjects. Students have come  from many places around the world, but predominantly from the UK. Many students have studied part-time while employed in some element of the lighting profession and industries. The MSc Light and Lighting aims to provide an holistic approach to lighting design considering the human response to light and lighting, the  science and technology of the subject, together with the design of lighting as an integrated part of architecture and the built environment.
