Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
Photonics Engineering is a four-year full-time program. In the first two years the necessary mathematics, physics,
computing and basic telecommunications courses are taken. These courses provide the theoretical foundations essential
to the understanding the applications of Photonics in future like optical computing and optical communication systems.
The advanced courses are covered in third and fourth years with minor and major projects.

case studies, work-based projects, mid-semester and endsemester theory/ practical exams. The project in the last
semester is assessed by a combination of written report and presentation.
Careers :
Graduates can choose careers in the environmental industry, National Research Programs on opt electronics
and electronics and optical communication industry and education, planning networks and management of networks.
