Double end and semester in Rome: Photonics studies enthusiastic!

Especially for students in photonics, an exciting double-degree program results in new perspectives. In this unique master's program, the participants have the opportunity to spend a semester at an Italian partner university in Rome. They acquire two degrees: the Master of Engineering in Germany and the Master of Science in Italy. This option was launched thanks to the partnership between the Technical University of Brandenburg and the Technical University of Wildau and has been implemented successfully for over ten years. A new agreement on cooperation was only renewed last year, so that this international cooperation can also benefit from future generations. As reported by Meetingpoint-brandenburg.de, there are currently six German students in Rome, and the exchange with Italian colleagues are currently In Brandenburg an der Havel and Wildau is also actively promoted.

The program includes a careful coordination of the study content, which is conveyed in English both in Germany and Italy. The master thesis, which deals with integrative topics from the fields of materials science and photonics, is defended in both countries. Immatriculation takes place at TH Wildau, with students having the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and skills in both Germany and Italy. This special form of study is particularly important for students of the master's degree in material engineering at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, which strive for a double degree, as explained.

insights into research

In June, a delegation from TH Brandenburg and Th Wildau traveled to Rome to strengthen the cooperation and present important research aspects. The delegation, consisting of Dean Justus Eichstädt, Prof. Andreas Jechow and Luise Arndt, had the opportunity to exchange ideas with Italian researchers who presented various topics, including material sciences, recycling and environmental analysis. Quantum communication technology was also addressed, an area that is becoming increasingly important today. As Andreas Jechow reported, there were lively discussions about new aspects of international cooperation that will benefit the students.

Photonics is not only an academic topic, but also a key technology with a variety of applications. The departments extend from laser and communication technology to manufacturing, environmental analysis and sensors. In addition, the career opportunities for graduates of this area are above average, as is student.uni-stuttgart.de. Optical technologies grow rapidly and are strongly represented in many industries within Germany and worldwide- from automotive and vehicle construction to medical technology.
