Program Summary

The 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.

The ?Photon Science and Technology? programme is unique in Germany.

For the first time, three universities from three different federal states are jointly conducting a study program to create toplevel education in the emerging field of photonics through synergies and utilization of individual academic strengths. The Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU), the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have been cooperating for years within the framework of the nationwide integrated graduate school "Max Planck School of Photonics" (MPSP).

This program is aimed at the world's best and most suitable applicants, providing them with early orientation towards top-level research immediately after their bachelor's degree. To train students jointly and provide them with the best possible access to training opportunities at all three universities, this cooperative study program is established.

For the most outstanding candidates, the new study program aims to enhance the attractiveness of Germany as a location, as individual excellence is underscored by operating a joint elite study program under cooperative responsibility.

The study program is research-oriented and focuses on acquiring research-relevant competencies. Students will learn within a cross-location network of the three universities. Central modules are taught jointly by lecturers from all three universities.

The laboratory training involves all locations. In terms of specialization, students have access to the full range of research focuses pursued at the individual locations.

The course of study is divided into three parts:?

  • The first semester is dedicated to acquiring subject-relevant basic competencies and aligning heterogeneous prior knowledge.
  • The second and third semesters focus on specialization, imparting research-relevant competencies.
  • The fourth semester concludes with the master's thesis as an independent scientific achievement.

Special features

The content is delivered in a balanced manner among the three universities.

There are two modes of delivery:
Firstly, in cooperative modules, lecturers from the three universities contribute equally to the joint teaching events. In the laboratory internships, responsibility rotates annually, and innovative remote lab approaches, specifically developed by MPSP in recent years and already operational, are also incorporated.

Secondly, in the elective areas, all three universities offer an equal number of courses, providing students with access to the entire expertise of all three locations.

All courses and examinations are held in English. Practical experience is integrated into each of the first three semesters. The research and practical components can be completed at either an institute of one of the three partner Universities, external research institutes, or research-oriented companies in the field of photonics.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the M.Sc. Photon Science and Technology have excellent prospects. They can pursue a scientific career, e.g. a Ph.D. at the Max Planck School of Photonics’ nation wide network of excellent research institutions.

Afterwards, both academic and industry career opportunities emerge: Industry currently lacks qualified employees so that students of the program often receive one or more job offers before completing the program. Graduates are often sought for challenging and technically demanding positions not only in the fields of optics and photonics, but also in telecommunications and laser technology.

Admission requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent

    In order to be accepted in the Master of Science in Photon Science and Technology programme, applicants must have obtained or be about to obtain a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualifications in physics, natural sciences, or engineering.

    The majority of our students are graduates with a B.Sc. in physics, a B.Sc./B.Eng. in electrical engineering, a B.Sc./B.Eng. in optoelectronics, or similar degrees. However, we are open to considering applicants from other disciplines who have a strong motivation to enter the field of photonics.

    Regardless of their previous study program, all applicants should have a profound knowledge of fundamental physics, mathematics, and electromagnetic theory. Detailed knowledge of optics is not an essential prerequisite to enter the M.Sc. Photonics program, since this will be the subject of our teaching. Nonetheless, existing experience in the field of optics can be helpful for an efficient study process.

    Applicants must successfully complete a three-stage qualification assessment process: 1. Online application, 2.- Online interview, 3. Interview. Details you can find here: https://photonics.maxplanckschools.org/application?

  • Proof of language proficiency

    For this master's programme the following language proficiency is required:

    • English at the level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language, demonstrated e.g. by:
      • IELTS: 5.5 or better (overall score)
      • Toefl (IBT) 82 or better (overall score)
      • Cambridge Certificate B2
      • or a recognised equivalent.
    • German proficiency is not needed.?
