Master of Science in Engineering

Programme structure

First semester
In the first semester of the master programme you will work theoretically and experimentally with statistical signal processing, sensor- and measurement technology, mechanical vibrations, laser physics, atomic physics and solid state physics. This will provide you with a broad foundation which qualifies for many different jobs.

Second and third semester
The next two semesters you will specialize further within optics, nanofabrication, computational physics, microtechnology, quantum engineering and elective courses. It is also possible to participate in an In-company project. You have the option to initiate your master thesis on the 3rd semester with 10 ECTS continuing with 30 ECTS on the 4th semester.

Fourth 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.
