Apply for our Master's program starting in autumn 2023 now - and the PhD programs are open for application at any time!
Application of multicolor holograms in the lab.
- Starting in autumn 2023, a limited number of online-only study slots for the duration of the first and second semester exist as well. Thus, the program can be studied entirely remotely during the first year of studies, and all 60 necessary credit points (CPs) can be earned during that period of time.
- However, in order to advance to the third semester and to finally obtain the Master's degree, each first-year online student has to move to Jena at some point before the start of the third semester. It is mandatory for all students to study on-campus during the third and fourth semesters.
In both cases you will be awarded the academic degree of Master of Science in Photonics (M.Sc. Photonics) upon successful completion of the program. The application is identical for both options, however, during the application procedure, you will be asked to express your preferences to study on-campus or online. Once accepted, we will guide you through the enrollment process at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
Students accepted to our program and starting online are free to switch to on-campus learning and to come to Jena as soon as this is individually possible.
In our experience, giving students access to our photonics labs and training them on-campus is preferred and will lead to superior study results.
