UndergraduateCourse summary
The Sound, Lighting and Live Event Technology course will give you the technical and organisational skills to transform performances into inspiring events. You'll study sound and video systems, lighting control and design, network technology, and rigging, for use in concerts, festivals, studios, corporate events, themed attractions and theatre. And you will gain valuable insights into project management and problem solving along the way. You will be interested in the backstage running of shows and making performances technically awesome. The technical events industry is challenging and exciting, there is a certain buzz about working to the wire, and a camaraderie from that experience. We have been running this kind of course for over 16 years, all of our staff are either currently involved in the industry or have been for many years. We don’t just do theory, we do it for real.
