Description

The Photonics Engineering Dual Degree programme between DTU and Kaist gives you the opportunity to spend one year at DTU and one year at KAIST, Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, respectively. You earn a Danish and an international master's degree which gives you personal and academic skills with an international foundation. The rapid growth of our use of electronic communication—for example in various internet services as YouTube, FaceTime, Spotify, etc.—is an example of an ever-increasing photonics technology. Another example of photonics as a fast-moving technology is the number of photonics start-up companies that emerge, for example within food analysis, medical treatment, and the energy sector.  

Career Opportunities  

Upon graduation, you will have obtained engineering skills such as analytical and systematic approaches to problems and be qualified to work within a wide range of areas ranging from employment of photonics as subsystems for example in production, development of photonics for applications for example within telecommunication/food analysis, interpretation and analysis of optical signals, design of optical devices such as lasers and scanners, development, processing, and analysis of photonic materials.
