Lighting Engineering (10 ECTS)

Objective

Students know the equipment and their properties in live performance lighting systems. They know the properties, potential for use, operational principles and special requirements of the systems. Students are able to accurately interpret lighting system documentation. Students understand the planning principles or the lighting system and can build a functioning system. They can use lighting consoles. The students understand performance technology as a part of live performance production and understand the job requirements in the field. Students are aware of the inherent safety risks of the systems and can take them into account while setting up and using the systems. Students are able to apply their skills into practice.
