Photon Science and Technology (M.Sc., Joint Degree Program)

With “Photon Science and Technology,” 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.

What is the degree program about?

The English-lThe English-language master’s program Photon Science and Technology (MPST) builds on a bachelor’s degree in physics or a related engineering discipline. It provides both advanced physical fundamentals of optics (from laser physics and solid-state physics to quantum optics) and key photonic applications in science, medicine, and industry.

Students benefit from the combined teaching and research offerings of three leading universities and participate in integrated research projects and lab rotations at the various locations.
