It is essential for Chinese and Vietnamese applicants who completed their Bachelor's degree in their home country to submit a scan of an original individual APS certificate with their application. APS checks the applicant's qualification for admission to higher education and the academic credits of Chinese applicants wishing to study in Germany. A group APS will not be acceptеd.
Testimonials
Optical Technologies for me was able to put all my interests in one program. I am particularly thrilled about how much we learn about applications in the real world, rather than pure theory. For the future, I plan to get into Biophotonics and work in the field of lasers in medicine.
I enjoy studying this course as it's a well-structured interdisciplinary master course. However, the beginning of my first semester was a little challenging as my bachelor's study was in mechanical engineering. I really believe that optics and photonics is an emerging technology and it has lots of applications in diverse fields. The course provides endless opportunities. Currently, I am doing my master's work at Siemens AG. In the future, I would prefer to work as a researcher. My personal interest is in the field of optical sensing/metrology and image processing.
