Location of Warsaw University of Technology
The Erasmus Mundus programme is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field
of higher education which promotes the European Union as the centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality master´s courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in the third countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for the third country nationals participating in these master´s courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying at partner universities throughout the world.
Currently, Erasmus Mundus supports about 100 Erasmus Mundus 2-year master´s courses of outstanding academic quality: all programs are conducted in English, the candidates are expected to have good study results, and confirmed knowledge of the English language.
The courses aim at fostering cooperation between higher education institutions and academic staff in Europe and Third Countries, enhancing the mobility to another university and another region of Europe, and at making students benefit linguistically, culturally and educationally from studies in the countries of the EU. Scholarships are offered to higher education students and academics from all over the world.
OpSciTech (Optics in Science and Technology) is a European Erasmus Mundus
Master programme providing comprehensive and multidisciplinary coverage of the field of Optics from upstream scientific aspects to engineering and applications in major sectors of economy.
Applicants should hold B.Sc. or B.Eng. degree comprising significant exposure to physics and optics basics (e.g. physics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, electronics, computer science).
The consortium conducting the program is composed of six institutions:
* Institut d´Optique and Universite Paris-Sud11 (France)
* Imperial College London (United Kingdom)
* Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands)
* Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany)
* Warsaw University of Technology (Poland).
DegreeEach graduate is awarded the Master´s degrees of the 2 institutions involved in his/her individual study path.
* TU Delft/Technische Universiteit Delft: Master of Science in Applied Physics/Ingenieur
* FSU Jena/Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena: Master of Science in Photonics
* Imperial College London: MSc in Applied Photonics
* Université Paris-Sud 11 and Institut d´Optique Graduate School, Paris: Master in Optics, Matter & Plasma/Master en optique, matière et plasmas, co-accredited also with Ecole Polytechnique
* Warsaw University of Technology/Politechnika Warszawska: Master in Automatics & Robotics specialized in Photonics Engineering/Magister w dyscyplinie Automatyka i Robotyka ze specjalizacj w Inzynierii Fotonicznej
Contents
Students enrolled in the two-year programme will study in two different countries of their choice, spending one year in each and offering the opportunity to acquire 60 European Credit Transfer System units (ECTS) per year. Students are trained for technical or scientific positions in academic or industrial environment specialised in optics or using optics. PhD studies are a natural extension of the Course.
The course consists of study-tracks jointly designed by the partner universities.
Core education in fundamentals of optics provided by lectures, laboratories and projects, transferable skills (management, entrepreneurship and languages) is provided at all sites.
Advanced courses are more specific to locations ("new frontiers in optics": image science and analysis, lasers, optical systems, optomechatronics, optical metrology, nanooptics, quantum and atomic optics).
The following keywords exemplify research topics under the above line headings:
* Fundamentals of optical effects and materials: ray optics, optical electromagnetism, guided waves, light-matter interaction in dilute and condensed matter, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, wave propagation
* Optical devices and systems: lens design & instruments (microscopes, telescopes,...), optical sensors, optical communications subsystems, laser devices, laser systems, opto-electronics devices (display units,...)
* Imaging science and image analysis: imaging systems, statistical signal and image processing (inverse problems), 3D computer graphics and virtual reality
* New frontiers in optics:
* * optomechatronics (3D metrology, surface remote sensing, advances in optical fabrication, adaptive optics, optomechanical design,...)
* new lasers (quantum dots laser, petawatt / femtosecond / megajoule lasers, Quantum cascade lasers)
* biophotonics: fluorescence sensors, optical tweezers, optics for health (laser diagnosis and surgery)...
* nanophotonics: photonic bandgap structures, light sieves, photonic crystals, subwavelength structures
* telecommunications: optical fibres, optical active components and optical signal processing
* quantum information and atom optics : optical cryptography, single atoms/molecules and photons (Q-bits), Bose-Einstein condensates,...
Examples of proposed study-tracks (site for Year1 - site for Year2):
* optical systems and imaging: Delft - Paris
* optics and lasers: Jena - London
* optical systems and instrumentation: London - Warsaw
* optical systems in the nanotechnologies: Paris - Jena
* images and sensors: Warsaw - Delft
Projects and Master thesis work are performed in a top academic or industrial research environment and may lead to publications in international journals. These components of the programme guarantee the students to participate in state-of-the-art research.
