This course will prepare you for an exciting career in live experience and entertainment by introducing you to the technical, design and management areas of live events.
In your first year, you’ll gain a strong understanding across a range of technical, creative and production management disciplines. In the second year, you will choose two subject areas to focus on.
With four distinct pathways for you to choose from, you can choose to specialise in the following areas:
Lighting for live events
Live sound
Live visuals
Event business
Whether you’re interested in lighting a stage, projecting stunning visuals or running an events business, this Foundation Degree allows you to focus on your chosen subject area whilst developing an underpinning knowledge of all four key areas. You’ll graduate as a specialised yet well-rounded live events professional.

You will also be expected to research methods and practices that are not covered in the module, and to relate and compare these to your learning.
Other work relevant to the module might include a stage design and layout, a festival event plan or perhaps a lighting design and visualisation.
