M1 PROGRAM (1st year)
Semester 1 – Fundamentals in Optics and Photonics – 30 ECTS
September – February/March
Marseille
Semester 1 aims at giving the students knowledge in the fundamentals of Photonics together with practical skills through lab classes.
An important part is dedicated to a personal project during which the students will work in close relationship with research laboratories. This project will stimulate the personal abilities of the students for handling a middle term research project.
The particular context of several existing top level research laboratories at Aix-Marseille University in the different fields of Photonics will give the students unique opportunities to develop their personal scientific kills and to clarify their motivation.
