This is a two-year master programme on top of a three-year bachelor programme. To study a master programme in Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology you must have a relevant bachelor degree.
Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology is one of two possible specialisations within the field of Physics and Technology (the other being Acoustics and Signal Processing)

Seventh semester
The first semester of the master programme is a common semester for all master students in Physics and Technology. You will work theoretically and experimentally with sensor technology, stochastic signal processing, and mechanical vibrations as well as further develop your theoretical skills in numerical mathematics. This will provide all students with a common and broad foundation which qualifies them for many different jobs, regardless of their academic profile. Moreover, the fact that you do not have to choose an academic profile the first semester provides you with a basis on which to make a qualified decision as to which profile you should choose.
Eight and ninth semester
The next two semesters you will specialise in your chosen academic profile: Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology or Acoustics and Signal Processing.
Tenth semester
The last semester is dedicated to the master thesis. You will choose the subject yourself. The master thesis will typically be carried out in one of the research groups and/or in cooperation with an industrial company.
