Bachelor of Science (Photonics)
Photonics is a rapidly developing area associated with the development of detectors, light sources and optical fibres to support research and development 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 strong background in optics, electronics and computing necessary to begin a career in the photonics industry. It is structured around the existing core of Physics subjects.
