Light is as fascinating as it is mysterious and at the same time an important basis of life for many animals and plants. Without light, there would be no photosynthesis, it influences your mood and is essential for the body's own production of vitamin D. But light can do even more, it is pure energy that can be used to read, cut and transmit data at lightning speed. In manufacturing or medicine, the applications of light are potentially endless, but it takes clever and creative minds to develop the appropriate technologies to harness light in the ways mentioned.

Why should you study optical technologies in Hannover?

Hanover offers particularly favourable conditions for the degree programme Optical Technologies: Lasers and Photonics, not only because particularly close cooperation between the basic disciplines can be achieved here, but also because the Laser Zentrum Hannover e. V. (LZH) is a direct interface to industry. (LZH), there is a direct interface to industry, so that companies can be well integrated into ongoing research and teaching and you, as a student, can be introduced to industry more easily.

In addition, Leibniz University has been successfully offering a Master's programme in Optical Technologies for more than ten years, which is excellently suited for deepening the content acquired in the Bachelor's programme. In addition to the German- and English-language Master's programme in Optical Technologies, you also have direct access to the new Master's programme in Quantum Engineering as a graduate of the Bachelor's programme. You can gain comprehensive insights into research at the Hannover Centre for Optical Technologies (HOT).

The recently founded Leibniz School of Optics & Photonics (LSO) is another institution that suggests that Hannover is an advantageous location within the national and international research landscape. This is also supported by the PhoenixD cluster of excellence, which includes more than 100 scientists conducting joint research in the field of optics and photonics.
