Our degree program is meticulously crafted to align with the demands of industrial research and development. It covers essential study subjects such as optical data transmission, laser technology, and LED lighting, ensuring you are well-prepared for a career in this dynamic field.

Application Requirements

Language Requirements

English language skills at B2 level according to the European Reference Framework are required. For applicants who have acquired the relevant bachelor degree at the FH Münster University of Applied Sciences or another English-language university degree program or who can give evidence of English as their mother-tongue, proof shall be deemed to have been provided. All other cases will be determined by the examination board on request of the applicant.

Qualification Requirements

The prerequisite for taking up or continuing studies in the Master´s degree programme in Photonics at FH Münster University of Applied Sciences is a relevant first university degree qualifying for a profession in the field of engineering or natural sciences with an overall grade of at least "good" (2.5) As an exception, proof of the relevant first qualified university degree can also be provided by means of a personal expert interview. The necessary determinations are made by the examination committee upon the presentation of suitable records. Graduates of a non-relevant first engineering or natural science degree programme with an overall grade of at least "good" (2.5) may be admitted with the proviso that they provide proof of the missing prior knowledge within one year of commencing their studies.
