Photonics in Science and Technology PHOTONICS
Optics & Photonics 2007: Nature journals about Photonics are created- “Nature Photonics” journal- “Light: Science & Applications”, open access. 2010: EU selects Photonics as one of the five KET (“Key-Enabling Technologies”) 2013: USA: National Photonics Initiative – “Optics and Photonics. Essentialtechnologies for our nation” (2012) 2015: China: “Laser World of Photonics” trade fair, held in China for the 1st time.International Year of Light, and of technol. based on light 2015: International Year of Light, and of technologies based on light 2016 & 2017: Gravitational waves detectionEurope: Extream Light Infrastructure (ELI) project goes on.Second Gravitational waves detection (LIGO & VIRGO)XXI century: - 8 Nobel Prize in Physics- 2 Nobel Prize in Chemistryrelated to PHOTONICS
MSc Photonics – “PHOTONICS BCN” 15 years ago, researchers covering different fields of Photonics in Barcelona area (UPC,UAB and UB) and in the Institute of Photonic Science (ICFO), decided to put togethertheir complementary expertise to offer a joint Master in Photonics. Initiative and close collaboration between the four partner institutions: a largernumber of photonic areas are covered The program started in 2007 Official 60 ECTS (1 year) Spanish Degree. All courses are taught in English.UABUBUPCICFO

Masters in Photonics – “Photonics BCN”OBJECTIVES Provide knowledge and training in different areas of Photonics, considering bothfundamental and applied aspects. Flexibility: the student can choose from many elective courses, to get eithergeneral training, or more specialized training in different possible areas. Develop competences and skills that will help the student to initiate a research ora professional carrier. Prepare you for: a PhD thesis or to work in a company. It fosters entrepreneurialskills to conduct own initiatives.ADDRESSED TO Bachelor in Physics, Physiscal Engineering Bachelor in Telecommunication and Electronics Engineers Bachelor in Optics and Optometry Bachelors in Engineering in general: Nanoscience & Nanoengineering, Industrial,Material Sciences, Other degrees
