The course provides the opportunity to explore and master a large range of optical technologies, enabling you to put devices in the context of an optical system and/or application. The course is based on the strong record of optical technologies across research divisions in the Department of Physics in collaboration with:

  • Optics Division (Physics)
  • Plasma Division (Physics)
  • Nanoscience Division (Physics)
  • Institute of Photonics
  • Centre for Biophotonics
  • Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering

You’ll put the knowledge gained in the taught components to use in a cutting-edge research project.

Careers

The course gives you a thorough basis for a successful job in the photonics, optical and life sciences industries. It provides the basis to excel in more interesting and challenging posts.

The course can also be an entry route into an optics-related PhD programme. Over the years, many of Strathclyde’s optics and photonics graduates have found successful employment at the large variety of local laser and optics companies as well as with national and international corporations.
