The Bachelor of Science in Photonics studies the fundamental properties of light and how light can be used in various applications. This program offers a broad range of education covering the transmission, control, sensing and interaction of light. Students gain in-depth knowledge in topics such as optics, laser technology, fiber optic communication systems and photonic materials science.
The curriculum of the photonics program starts with basic sciences and progresses to more advanced photonics applications. In addition to physics, mathematics and engineering principles, students are specifically trained in electromagnetic theory, the wave and particle nature of light, optoelectronics and photonic device design. In addition, the program covers modern technologies such as nanophotonics, biophotonics and photovoltaic systems.
The teaching methodology consists of theoretical lectures, laboratory exercises and projects, aiming to provide students with both theoretical and practical skills. Laboratory work develops students' ability to solve problems that they may encounter in real-world applications. In addition, students reinforce their research and development skills by taking an active role in various photonics-related projects.
Photonics graduates can pursue careers in many fields such as communication technologies, medical diagnostic and treatment systems, laser technology and optical design. In addition, engineers specialized in this field can find opportunities to work in research and development laboratories, technology companies or academic institutions.
Internship and practicum opportunities offer students the opportunity to gain experience in industrial settings. This increases students' chances of finding a job after graduation, while also helping them to expand their professional network. The Photonics program provides students with a comprehensive offering of both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, enabling them to lay the foundations for a successful career in this dynamic and rapidly developing field.
