PhotonDelta and Optics Netherlands have launched a first-of-its-kind ‘MasterPlus’ Programme in Optics and Photonics – in partnership with the Netherlands’ three leading technology universities: Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), and University of Twente (UT).
The programme will be a talent pipeline for the optics and photonics industry, which makes a significant contribution to the Dutch economy and has a strong annual growth rate. By integrating academic expertise with industry needs, the programme promises to produce highly skilled professionals poised to drive innovation and growth in the field.
Three technical universities in the Netherlands are set to offer a new specialisation in Optics and Photonics within existing master’s programmes in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering. The initiative is organised by the 4TU.Federation. The MasterPlus Programme in Optics and Photonics (MPOP) – supported by PhotonDelta and Optics Netherlands – will go live in September 2024.
