Academic Admission

In order to enrol in the programme, you must meet the following qualifications as well as other requirements which may apply: You possess a Bachelor's degree or a comparable degree from a natural science or engineering degree programme with a final grade better than the equivalent German grade of "good". In these degree programmes, you acquired solid basic knowledge in physics, optics, and/or laser technology, amounting to at least 10 credit points in accordance with the ECTS or equivalent. In your cover letter, please describe the courses you have successfully completed in these fields. Your degree work was attained either at a German university or at a foreign school that is properly accredited. The Bachelor's degree must cover at least 180 ECTS credit points and at least six theoretical semesters. The completion of a practical semester or an industrial internship of at least 18 weeks during the Bachelor's studies is required. If you have completed a Bachelor's degree with less than 210 ECTS credits (but at least 180 ECTS credits) or if you have not yet completed an 18-week industrial internship, you can make up for this during the Master's degree programme. In this case, the Master's programme is extended to four semesters. If some applicants do not meet the final grade of "good" or better, or if there is uncertainty about their other qualifications. These applicants must prove their qualifications in an oral entrance examination. This examination is offered following the correct and timely application to the programme. This examination has a duration of 20 to 30 minutes and serves as proof of sufficient basic skills in mathematics, physics, optics, and laser technology. The examination is held by two professors.
