Detailed description of the degree programme
Many scientists agree that the 21st century will be the technological century of the photon. Photonics is a collective term for all optical technologies, i.e. classic optics, laser technology and non-linear optics. These technologies form the basis of a dynamically growing industry. Optical data transmission via optical fibres, the use of high-powered lasers to cut, weld and drill all kinds of materials, the development of LED lighting and the use of photovoltaics are just a few examples of the industrial and commercial use of photonics. Our degree programme is perfectly designed to meet the requirements of industrial research and development.
