Masters Degree Description

UCL offers one of the world's most comprehensive Master’s degrees in Light and Lighting. We bring together the technical and creative sides of daylighting and lighting design, to offer an extensive package of knowledge and skills for your career as a lighting professional working in the built environment. You learn to design lighting as an integrated component of architecture, utilising exciting advances in science and technology whilst taking into consideration human responses to the lit environment.

Entry Requirements

The normal minimum qualifications are a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. If you do not meet this requirement then we will still consider your application if you have any qualification in an appropriate field, in addition to extensive relevant work experience. Please note that in very rare cases, a special qualifying examination may be set. This only applies if the applicant does not meet the 2:2 minimum entry threshold, and their work experience is limited and at a junior level. Details of this route can be obtained from the department at the email address at the bottom of this page.
