Photonics

In order to be accepted in the Master of Science in Photonics program, applicants must have obtained or be about to obtain a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualifications in physics, natural sciences, or engineering. The majority of our students are graduates with a B.Sc. in physics, a B.Sc./B.Eng. in electrical engineering, a B.Sc./B.Eng. in optoelectronics, or similar degrees. However, we are open to considering applicants from other disciplines who have a strong motivation to enter the field of photonics. Regardless of their previous study program, all applicants should have a profound knowledge of fundamental physics, mathematics, and electromagnetic theory. Detailed knowledge of optics is not an essential prerequisite to enter the M.Sc. Photonics program, since this will be the subject of our teaching. Nonetheless, existing experience in the field of optics can be helpful for an efficient study process.

For this master's programme the following language proficiency is required:
