Top-notch theoretical knowledge and collaboration with the industry
This Master’s programme provides you with in-depth knowledge of photonics ranging from fundamental light-matter interactions, laser physics and nonlinear dynamics to the design of optical systems, semiconductor technologies, advanced nanofabrication methods and measurement techniques.
You will implement theory into practice through experiments and hands-on laboratory assignments, as well as in close collaboration with the industry.
Depending on your interests, you can specialise either in Photonics Materials or Ultrafast Photonics and Lasers
You can also choose electives from among the wide array of courses offered by the multidisciplinary Tampere University.
Bright future outlook
Studying photonics will give you the skills needed for a career as a high-tech expert in a growing industry. Your future role could be for example a project engineer, a technology specialist, or a developer. You could be working in health care, energy production, communications, manufacturing, or safety, just to mention a few options. You might also opt for doctoral studies and pursue an academic career.
Benefit from international networks and high-quality research
Our extensive international networks offer lots of opportunities to gain international experience and help you stand out in the job market.
You may complete a double degree in Photonics with Bordeaux University. Students at Tampere University can apply for the double degree option during the first year of the master’s studies.
In addition, Tampere University is a partner in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degree Europhotonics. There is a separate application process for the programme.
Our education is based on long-standing research in photonics. Tampere University coordinates the prestigious Finnish Academy Flagship for Photonics Research and Innovation, PREIN. It is a hub for high-quality research with proven societal impact.
