Brief description

The degree course is consecutive and builds on the Bachelor's degree course in Mechatronics (Optomechatronics).

Anyone who has successfully completed such a Bachelor's degree or a related Bachelor's degree with a standard period of study of at least six semesters and has acquired at least 180 credit points (CP) can be admitted to the course. Subject-specific aptitude is determined on the basis of the documents to be submitted and, if necessary, in an interview.

Optical Systems Engineering is a cross-sectional science that combines the engineering knowledge of the specialist disciplines of optics, electronics, mechanics and information technology to form a new discipline. It encompasses the entirety of physical, chemical and biological laws of nature and technologies for the generation, amplification, shaping, transmission, measurement and utilization of light.

The course aims to deepen the technical and methodological expertise in the field of optronics already acquired in a university degree course in a research-oriented manner. Students receive a wide range of training in the development, construction/design, modeling/simulation, technology and production of micro- and macrotechnical optronic products, machines, systems and processes.
