Professional skills
With a Master of Science in Engineering with the Photonics profile you have a comprehensive understanding of modern, laser-based precision manufacturing, optical metrology and imaging, optoelectronics and electro-optics and the design and modelling of photonic systems and microtechnology. You are a professional with expertise on the use of light and lasers in a wide range of applications, such as lighting, manufacturing, measurement and medical technology.
Entry qualifications
Specific prior knowledge is required for admission to this profile of the master’s degree programme. Candidates holding a good bachelor degree in one of the following disciplines generally meet the criteria:
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
- Bachelor of Science in Microtechnology
- Bachelor of Science in Material and Process Engineering
- Bachelor of Science in System Technology
- Bachelor of Science in Photonics
Modules
The focus of the master’s degree programme is on specialising in greater depth; two-thirds of the programme is devoted to this and is completed at a research unit of a university of applied sciences. As part of this in-depth specialisation you will write two project theses and the master’s thesis.
One-third of your degree programme focuses on theory, which is taught in modules. These theory modules are subdivided into three areas:
- Technical Scientific Modules | TSM
- Fundamental Theoretical Principles | FTP
- Context Modules | CM
Your degree programme is planned with support from your advisor. This study advisor will also guide you on the choice of theory modules and specialisation.
