Bachelor of Science (Photonics)

Photonics is a rapidly developing area associated with the development of detectors, light sources and optical fibres to support R&D in a wide range of industries including optoelectronics, telecommunications and defence.

This degree provides students with training which combines skills in experimental and theoretical physics and electronics with a stronf background in optics, electronics and computing necessary to enter a career in the photnics industry. It is structured around the existing core of the Physics degree, complemented by a coherent program of subjects from the Informatics Schedule.
