Abstract
It is contended that lighting has not been given the status in educational programmes commensurate with its importance to personal and social life as evidenced by the treatment of lighting in engineering courses as a subsidiary subject only. It is suggested that lighting science should now be recognized as a subject in its own right for a university degree course. This suggestion is particularly relevant to the modern views that the scope of the subject is very great and that the engineering content is small. A degree course in lighting science would provide graduates with the wide-ranging knowledge needed to allow them free movement within the industry, and would provide for the lighting industry and for users trained personnel equipped for senior positions. A syllabus fcr a three-year course in Lighting Science and Design is outlined.
