Photonics International Programs with NC

Germany is the top European destination for international students pursuing a degree in photonics, the transformative science of light. The country offers world-class programmes at the intersection of optics, electronics, and materials science. Leading research institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering, the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology collaborate with industry leaders including ZEISS, TRUMPF, Jenoptik and OSRAM to develop technologies ranging from ultrafast lasers and quantum photonics to biophotonics and optical computing.

Most Selective International Photonics Programs

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).

Photonics international programs with NC: Glossary

Numerus Clausus (NC)
This Latin term means “limited number” and indicates that a program has restricted admission. In other words, not all applicants can be accepted, so selection is usually based on grades or other criteria when demand exceeds available spots.
