Course Overview

PIXNET is our master's course where youll learn about the design of communications systems, focusing on photonics integration, sensing, and switching. During this one-year course, youll benefit from the involvement of industrial partners who will give you the opportunity to see how your academic knowledge can be practically applied. This will be especially helpful as you work on your master's project. We also run a two-year ERASMUS-funded joint Masters's course in partnership with three universities across the world. This course includes spending time at different locations to maximize the expertise across the four universities.
