New photonics MasterPlus programme starts in September

Internet via glass fibre is just the beginning. Photons (particles of light) are expected to gradually take over the role of electrons as information carriers. Electronics becoming Photonics. Photo Integrated Circuits (PICs) are expected to be faster and more energy-efficient in transporting and processing data than the ICs we know today.

The 4TU programmes in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering are responding to this trend with a new MasterPlus programme in optics and photonics (MPOP) starting in September this year. In this constellation, 4TU works with stimulation platform PhotonDelta and promotion initiative Optics Netherlands.

The technical universities will offer their own specialised courses in optics and photonics and facilitate inter-university activities and training, giving students the flexibility to take courses on different university campuses. In addition, students will gain practical experience in industry.

Programme director for Applied Physics (Faculty of Applied Sciences, AS) Dr Aurèle Adam says: “By providing students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in optics, the programme not only ensures the competitiveness of Dutch universities. It also stimulates Dutch industry in terms of cutting-edge research and applications.”
