Photonics studies - career springboard for engineers in the field of light and optics

Anyone interested in topics relating to light and optics will hit the nail on the head with the Bachelor's degree course in Optoelectronics and Photonics. Hardly any other course promises engineers such good career prospects. Because this field has a future. Photonics is the absolute state-of-the-art solution where the cyber environment meets the physical world of production. Laser technology uses software control to operate generic production processes that save resources and are very versatile. Non-contact measurement techniques enable flawless and rapid quality checks in the manufacturing process. This leads to optimum cooperation between humans and robotics.

Participants in the photonics degree program acquire sound know-how in the fields of optoelectronics, camera technology, image processing, infrared technology, display technology, lighting technology, illumination technology and laser technology. They train their optical skills and become specialists in the fields of product development and production technology. Of course, students also receive in-depth training in the areas of management and business administration.

Modules for photonics-specific specialization later on in the degree course enable students to specialize in their chosen field. Possible subject modules include image processing, optical metrology, sensor technology and systems, optoelectronics, infrared technology, lighting technology and many more. This allows students to lay the foundations for their future engineering career during their studies. Well-trained specialists in the field of photonics will find numerous job opportunities in this very promising field, as well as interesting further training opportunities in engineering, automation, robotics, measuring instrument technology and numerous other areas.

Questions and answers

For both full-time and part-time studies, a practical component of around 20 percent is guaranteed, consisting of practical work and laboratory work. In addition, the photonics degree program may include a higher proportion of practical work during an integrated internship.

It is certainly possible to work during the photonics degree course, but mainly if you are studying part-time. It is recommended that you do not work more than 60 percent of the time during your Bachelor's degree. If you are studying full-time, you will have classes 3.5 days a week; if you are studying part-time, you will have classes two days a week.

In order to be admitted to the Photonics Bachelor's degree course, you must have a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate in Engineering, Architecture, Life Science, formerly Technical BM with an apprenticeship in the technical field or a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate, Specialized Baccalaureate or comparable certificate with at least one year of relevant professional experience at the start of the course or as an internship integrated into the course. You should also have a good knowledge of German and English at FCE level (First Certificate in English).

After successfully completing the photonics course, graduates are awarded the "Bachelor of Science FHO in Photonics".

The photonics course with a Bachelor's degree can be completed as a full-time course within three years or as a part-time course within four semesters.

The photonics degree program teaches you the basics of photonics as well as specializations and the modules business administration, project management, entrepreneurship and innovation. Students also attend modules such as: Linear Algebra, Computer Science, Electronics, Optics, Physics, Optical Metrology, Design, Signal Processing, Optoelectronics, Mathematics for Optics and Electronics, Materials in Optics and Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Image Processing, Control Engineering, Laser Technology, Optical Sensor Technology, Light and Lighting Technology, Product Development, Camera and Display Technology, Infrared Technology, Production Engineering, Optical Systems as well as 3D Image Processing, Circuit Realization, Optical Design, Lasers and Materials. There are also practical projects, laboratory work, project work and Bachelor's theses.
