Study Programme

The masters’s programme “Lasers and Photonics” offers a broad spectrum of subjects in the fields of optics, optoelectronics, laser applications, laser metrology, ultrashort laser physics and many more. During your studies, you will attend courses that include topics on current research as well as commercial products and applications.

In addition to lectures, your curriculum may include laboratory projects in modern, well-equipped laser laboratories, participation in conferences or programming courses. Due to the large number of elective courses, you can actively work on sharpening your professional profile during the master's programme.

German courses that you take at the Language Centre of Ruhr-Universität Bochum can also be credited as modules towards your degree. This way you combine both subject knowledge and language skills in your master's degree.
