This master of science study programme is offered in English.
Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology is one of two specialisations available to master students in the field of Physics and Technology
During your studies you will find the answer to why and how technology works – and you will use that knowledge to develop, for example, optically based faster computers or new optical measurement methods for diagnosing cancer, or ultra-sensitive sensors capable of detecting the presence of just a few molecules of narcotics or explosives.

Study environment
Each year more than 1500 international students from all over the world choose to study at the University of Southern Denmark, so you will become part of a lively international study environment.
We believe that engineers of today must have a global perspective and experience and we encourage international as well as Danish students to spend one or two semesters abroad as an intern in a company or as exchange students at a partner university.
The Faculty of Engineering has adopted a student-centred approach to learning, and teaching is based on problem based project work. Students participate significantly in class and carry out project work in small teams.
