MAOT is open to graduates with a bachelor's degree in physics or a relevant engineering subject.
The 2-year programme covers six topics:
- optical metrology
- optical material and systems
- optics in communication
- computational optics
- optics in medicine
- optical material processing
Students are given an introduction to all six topics and choose three as major subjects. In the international and interdisciplinary programme lectures are conducted in English by experts from physics, medicine, computer science and engineering (electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering).
Special features
MAOT has its own teaching rooms as well as computer-equipped work places for their students.
Lectures are given in small groups with a high level of interactivity.
The MAOT office provides support in all administrative issues and matters of daily life (e.g. accommodation). Support in getting a scholarship can be given. There is no tuition fee for MAOT.
MAOT cooperates closely with the SAOT doctoral programme which is located in the same building which has brand new lab Master's and PhD students work together in classes or in research groups with the SAOT principal investigators.
