Additional Information

Careers Opportunities
Live visual design and production is a new approach to the design and creation of spectacular events that give audiences a truly memorable experience. It integrates lighting, set design and video with other visual effects such as lasers and pyrotechnics. Previously events employed lighting designers, video designers and set designers as separate roles, but increasingly these roles are merging together as video walls create the set, lighting enhances the video content and performances are synchronised with spectacular special effects.

Our BA (Hons) Live Visual Design and Production degree aims to teach you the skills and knowledge needed to seamlessly combine original visual art content and cutting edge digital show technology to enhance live music, product launches, celebrations and architectural installations, amongst many other art forms and events. This is a growing market with today’s live events becoming ever more visual, artistic and complex as advances in new technology create fresh possibilities within lighting and video.

What can I do with this qualification?
As a graduate of our BA (Hons) Live Visual Design and Production degree you’ll have a range of career options to pursue in the projection mapping, concert and touring, broadcast, musical theatre and installation sectors on an international basis. The work experience embedded into the programme will help to give you a competitive advantage over others graduates.

Given the experience and certification on offer as part of this programme, a range of opportunities could be open to you – from creative and artistic design, technical and production management to installation and programming specialist systems. Many roles are full-time working for global partners of industry standard hardware (such as d3), whilst in the touring industry many roles are freelance (normally finishing on the last night of the tour or event).

Productions and events are increasingly employing specialists on a freelance basis, offering opportunities to experience and enjoy a working life in the industry worldwide.

Successful completion of the BA (Hons) Live Visual Design and Production degree will also allow you to consider a range of postgraduate study options, leading to Master’s, research and doctoral qualifications.
