Course Description
With Photon Science and Technology (M.Sc., Joint Degree Program), you will delve into the fascinating world of light. Optics and its scientific and technological applications are central to numerous developments in physics, biology, medicine, and other scientific disciplines. Industrial applications represent key technologies of the 21st century.
This program is almost unique in Germany in its structure as a joint degree program: students can attend courses at the universities of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Jena, and Karlsruhe and will receive a joint certificate from all three institutions.
As an integrated part of the Max Planck School of Photonics (MPSP), students may apply for a scholarship offered by MPSP. More information about the application process for the scholarship at MPSP can be found here.
