Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Students from DTU
The following bachelor educational programs from DTU give automatically right to acceptance at the graduate program in Photonics.
- Physics and Nanotechnology
- Mathematics and Technology
- Electro technology
However, acceptance to the graduate program is conditioned upon completion of the following courses (or similar courses) during a Bachelor program. If the student has not completed such courses, acceptance to the Master program requieres that the student completes the courses as elective courses during the first part of the Master program.
- Optics and Photonics
- Experimental Optics and Photonics
Bachelors from other universities
Bachelors from other universities in Denmark or aboroad with a relevant background for example within
- Physics
- Physics and Nanotechnology
- Applied mathematics
- Electromagnetism
may be accepted as students at the Master program in Photonics Engineering. However, it is requiered that the student can document basic knowledge within optics and photonics corresponding to having completed the curriculum within the two DTU courses: Optics and Photonics, and Experimental optics.
If curriculum similar to the curriculum in the two courses has not been completed within the bachelor education of the student, he or she may still be accepted within the master program in Photonics engineering, under the assumption that the student complete the two courses immidiately after having started the master studies.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
