Overview
The MPSP offers a program structured in two phases. The first phase, study phase to obtain a photonics master’s degree from one of three teaching universities in Erlangen, Jena or Karlsruhe. In the second phase, the subsequent research phase and the research work are conducted under the supervision of one of our Fellows of the MPSP. Apart from an excellent network, the MPSP offers generous scholarships and a supporting curriculum to foster interactions between the different photonics disciplines, to strengthen the research network and to advance personal and professional skills.
