Program Overview:

In Europe, Fachhochschule Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen is the only institution that has developed and installed “Lighting-Design” as a full-time undergraduate degree course. It is an interdisciplinary course which integrates and uses the competence of other existing faculties, such as Interior Design, Architecture, Product-Design and Economics or Art. The course contents are based on the recommendations by practicing lighting designers from PLDA: Lighting-Design involves planning the lighting of spaces and objects to meet individual, public and commercial requirements, taking into consideration aesthetic, ecological and economic aspects.
