The world is undergoing a fourth industrial revolution. Digital data is the new capital and the internet has become a resource every bit as precious as water or electricity. This MSc in Wireless, Photonics and Space Engineering will train you to become a technology innovator, developing and innovating concepts to form the core of the next generation of cell phones, antennas, quantum computers, sensors, robots, communication systems, and satellites.

The MasterPlus programme provides you with additional expertise in the fields of Photonics and Optics. With this programme you are prepared to help improve our everyday lives and solve big problems, from revolutionising healthcare and safety to shaping renewable energy and more. 

Graduates from Photonics possess excellent knowledge in mathematics, physics, electronics, information technologies and have high level of qualifications to work for various institutions.

The innovative power of M.Sc in photonics is changing our daily lives. Brilliant laser sources, quantum computers and communication, high-performance fibre optic networks, light-based therapy and diagnostics in medicine, and energy-efficient semiconductor optics are the hallmarks of current technological progress, which will determine our lives in the future.

With photonics, the science and technology of light, you can make an impact and improve our daily lives sustainably. Producing, using, and controlling light is key to communications, health care, energy production, manufacturing, safety, and security as well as consumer products. Our Master’s Programme in Photonics Technologies will give you the perfect basis and knowledge for a future career in a growing industry.

This two-year Erasmus Mundus programme provides a multidisciplinary and innovative programme covering the interactions between Radiation and Micro-Electronics and Photonics, two Key Enabling Technologies for the future of Europe.

The Masters of Science in Photonics (M.Sc. Photonics) and the new M.Sc. Quantum Science & Technology are Master's degree courses providing multidisciplinary coverage in the field of optics, photonics and quantum technology. The two-year programs both comprise four educational stages. The course schedules range from fundamental scientific subjects to application-oriented photonics and quantum engineering aspects. The programs are designed to incorporate students of different backgrounds and nationalities and provides them with a solid knowledge in optics, photonics and quantum technology for scientific research and for their upcoming applications in industry. All students enrolled in these two-year programs receive dedicated tutorial support and are trained for leading positions in industry and academia.

Our MasterPlus Optics & Photonics provides you an additional expertise on top of your regular Master Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering. You will become part of a thriving community of academic and industrial researchers through a tailored mix of electives, research projects, and networking activities.

The Master of Science in Green Electronics is a highly specialised programme which is jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich, TUM). This programme aims to educate next generation semiconductor researchers and engineers to work in the research areas of novel electronic/optoelectronic devices and systems, with particular focus on the energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing fields.

The 21st century is the century of the photon and photonics is the science and technology of generating, controlling and detecting photons. This programme aims at educating talented students in the science and technology laying behind the photonics revolution. You will obtain an in-depth understanding of optics and laser technology as well as practical experience in optical design. Experience working in modern optics and laser laboratories and gain detailed knowledge of important photonics applications (e.g. communication or medical optics). The Photonics programme is coupled to world-leading research activities in optics, lasers and their applications, performed at the Lund Laser Centre. You will obtain universal skills preparing you for excelling both in industrial or academic future careers.

This multidisciplinary program prepares students for careers in developing and manufacturing micro- to nanoscale materials, processing, and devices in such industries as biosensing, photonics, telecommunications, microelectronics, and MEMs.

The study concept of applied photonics isn't a conventional master program. It is possible to work while you study, but the target audience aren't particular people who are already working.

In the Master's degree program in Optoelectronics and Photonics, the students acquire a profound knowledge base and skillset in the field of optoelectronics and photonics. The program is set up as an interdisciplinary course program with about equal parts of advanced level (Master level) courses from physics and electrical engineering and information technology.
