MS in Optoelectronics and Photonics 

at University of Paderborn, Paderborn

• Bachelors' Degree in Physics (or an equivalent Natural Science or Engineering degree that includes physical and mathematical fundamentals and a quantum theory course) 

The degree qualification must include the following competences or there must be no significant
differences from them:

• Principles of physics: Command of the principles of physics in the areas of solid-state physics, semi-conductor physics and components, electrodynamics, wave optics and principles of spectroscopic procedures, and quantum theory, combined with the ability to create models and abstract mathematical formulations of physical phenomena.
• Practicals: Identifying and extracting significant physical interrelationships using experiments conducted by the applicant herself or himself, recording and critically evaluating the results of experiments.
• Higher mathematics: Command of the basic mathematical concepts and methods that are required to understand and solve problems in the master’s degree in optoelectronics and photonics. This comprises advanced knowledge in the fields of linear algebra, analysis, Fourier series, differential equations, and vector analysis.
