About the program
Photonics and Spintronics is a research Master’s program at the intersection of condensed matter physics, optics, and spintronics.The program will suit both specialists with a degree in fundamental physics and those with a more field-specific education in physical and technical sciences. During your training, you’ll work on individual research projects and will be able to choose a field of contemporary physics to your liking – theoretical, experimental, or connected to developing new nanostructures. After graduation, you can enroll into a PhD program, build an international career in research, or work in R&D departments of high-tech companies.Program partners
