MA Lighting Design and Production

In this intensive, hands-on course, you’ll explore all of the approaches and technical skills that can help you launch a career in lighting design and production.

Hands-on experience comes in the form of several major opportunities to design the lighting for College productions across theatre, opera and musical theatre. You’ll also grow a rich source of contacts from across design and stage management – essential to building a successful career in the industry.

Collaboration is at the heart of this course. In your RWCMD placements or on those with our industry partners, you’ll learn about different creative disciplines and get a real feel for what it’s like to be a member of a production support team – all in readiness for life after graduation.

The course ends with a public exhibition of your cohort’s work in Cardiff and then for four days on London’s South Bank, which includes an industry night for an invited audience of potential employers.

In this course with hands-on training at its core, you’ll develop and apply your existing knowledge and skills to an advanced specialist field of study at a professional level.

You’ll gain, through the breadth of projects and classwork, a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical principles of designing for theatre, film and TV – making you highly desirable to employers.

Our full-time staff and the visiting lecturers are all practitioners still working in industry, with both national and international profiles. They bring the most current best practices to your training.
