Description

Focusing on fundamental physics of light and optical components as well as a wide range of applications which are essential to our high-tech society, this programme includes courses in basic physics, optical materials and structures.

The programme places great emphasis on innovation and future applications of optics and photonics to develop technological solutions to societal challenges including quantifying carbon dioxide consumption, improving combustion processes, securing communication against acts of terrorism, measuring food quality, performing better medical procedures, and understanding and controlling diseases.

Career Opportunities 

The career opportunities as a Master of Science in Engineering within photonics are manifold due to the many different applications of photonics. Examples of career paths include research and development within the private industrial sector as well as within the public domain. However, career options related to other occupational tasks—as for example process control and management or optimization or processing of advanced technology where photonics is either an end product or used as a tool to process other end products—are also possible.

Description

DTU’s main campus consists of more than 100 buildings on a 106-hectare plain, which is divided into four quadrants—just like points in a coordinate system. The campus is safe and secure, and a site of great natural beauty with wooded areas, sports fields, inner courtyards, and gardens.  

The campus is located within the Greater Copenhagen Area and is easily accessed by car or public transport. You can get from DTU to Copenhagen Center in about 40 minutes by bus or trian, 45 minutes by bike and 20 minutes by car.

Most of the DTU main campus was build in the 1960s and 1970s, but new and modern facilities have been build continuously. DTU is currently investing more than 500,000,000 EUR in a comprehensive transformation of the university buildings and infrastructure, which is aimed at providing world-class research and student facilities.
