Willie's experience
I completed the MSc Light and Lighting at UCL in 2009. Although I came from an engineering background and felt, I knew quite a bit about lighting before I started, I totally underestimated what I would learn through this programme. Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know.
The course was challenging and stimulating, with approachable and knowledgeable tutors. It balanced the scientific side of lighting with the artistic element and has given me invaluable tools both in lighting application and in technical knowledge. I learned so much, which has stood me well in my career in lighting that has followed. I would thoroughly recommend this course for anyone who aspires for a career in the lighting industry.
