Course overview

Advance your knowledge of optics in one of the largest centres for optics-based research and application in the UK. Discover why this field is of key importance to many industrial sectors including medicine, ICT and high-tech manufacturing.

Imperial has offered an advanced course in optics for over 80 years. The current MSc in Optics and Photonics draws on that wealth of experience to prepare graduates for employment within a variety of careers in industry or further doctoral studies.

The programme will explore key topics including imaging, laser fundamentals, optical measurements and devices, and optical communications.

You'll carry out substantial laboratory and project work during the course, often based within industry. There is also a chance to undertake a self-study project in an area of your choice, and your studies will conclude with a full-time project, which may be in industry, an academic research group, or abroad.
