Photonics (MSc)

Photonics is a collective term for all optical technologies, forming the basis of many industrial processes. The programme is tailored to meet the requirements of industrial and academic research and development in areas such as lasers, lithography, imaging systems, optical atomic clocks, gravitational wave astronomy, and quantum technologies.

Academic requirements

There will be a short interview at the beginning of your studies. In the interview, a professor will ask a few questions related to optics and physics. The professor will give you feedback on knowledge gaps and may recommend remedies, such as literature studies or additional classes.
