Technology Park: “Training and Research – Study Photonics” – Hall 3.0., Booth 622
Optatec 2026 presents leading photonics master’s degree programmes from Hessen
Photonics is the technical mastery and exploitation of light. In contrast to electronics, i.e. the technical mastery and exploitation of electrons or the flow of electrical current, photonics encompasses the use of photons in optical technologies such as laser, digital image processing, optical measuring technology, optical data transmission and lighting technology.
Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Rhein Main University of Applied Sciences and Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen will be presenting their Master’s degree programmes such as “Optotechnology and Image Processing”, “Applied Physics” and “Optical System Engineering” live at the trade fair from 5 to 7 May.
The Common Booth in Hall 3.0. offers a unique opportunity for interested parties to find out more about these specialised degree courses. Visitors will have the opportunity to talk to lecturers and representatives of the universities to gain insights into the content and career opportunities of the degree programmes.
Anyone who has already completed a bachelor’s degree or training in a technical or scientific field and would like to find out more about cameras, lasers, optics and light is cordially invited to attend:
