Why study LAP?

Jan

Jan S. Hoppius, Germany
I particularly like the fact that the programme is interdisciplinary, open, and flexible. We have a wide choice of subjects to choose from, so you are able to customise your own degree programme. Excellent supervision and practical projects make this a very interesting and versatile degree programme with lots of research opportunities and huge future potential.

I decided to study LAP because I see great future opportunities coming up in this field. I like everything related to light and the way it interacts with matter. The professors from the study programme are not only experienced but they have also great personalities. They are open to new ideas and have good contact to the students. Since it’s a new programme and we are not so numerous as in other programmes, we have a higher probability to find better opportunities in our future. I am very happy with my decision and I would recommend it to anyone who likes these kinds of topics.

You should enrol for the Lasers and Photonics MA because optical technologies have huge development potential and are only in their early stages. You’d have a job for another 40 years – and you just don't know where it could eventually lead you.
