LIGHTING DESIGN
In recent years, lighting technology has un-
dergone a revolution, including intelligent and
interactive control of light in rooms. Moreover,
new lighting technologies and use of interactive
screens are becoming increasingly visible in
the public space. Therefore, professional and
highly educated lighting designers are sought
after. Companies are looking for people who
understand lighting design, who are able to
work with existing technologies and develop
new and smart solutions.
The Master’s education in Lighting Design is a
cross-disciplinary and international program
based in a special Danish and Nordic tradition
for light perception. Focus is on how the techni-
cal qualities of light and materials are applied
in order to promote comfort and aesthetics.
