Being more practical than a purely scientific masters course, yet retaining much of the academic rigour, successful graduates of the programme will be well prepared, and highly sought-after, in the job market. As well as existing technical industrial sectors, such as R&D, process engineering, technical computing and many others, the programme opens up perspectives in emerging sectors such as quantum technology, which is already attracting bright, well-trained graduates for the next generation of tech start-ups.
Graduates who wish to continue their studies after the Masters programme are perfectly placed to do so. Paderborn University is well-established as a centre of optoelectronics and photonics research, and progression to study for a PhD within one of the many exciting and internationally active research groups is extremely smooth.
