Overview

The Photonics study program at the Munich University of Applied Sciences conveys extensive physical-mathematical knowledge combined with individual elective modules. The lectures are complemented by numerous internships and a project work. The focus is on teaching practical skills for working in an optics / photonics laboratory.
