European MSc in Photonics

Taught Postgraduate MSc

Overview

Our collaboration with the University of Ghent, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Heriot-Watt University, and KTH Stockholm resulted in the European Union funding this two-year Master of Science programme. Though this funding has now finished, there may still be some opportunities for funding. Students spend the first academic-year of the programme in one country taking a range of modules. There is then a short summer school. The second academic year is spent in a second country, and consists of more advanced taught-course modules, and a major research project.

Applications to the European MSc in Photonics are made centrally to the programme, via the link below, and not directly to the University of St Andrews.

From 2011-entry on, this programme students will spend the first semester of the two-year programme in Ghent, second semester in Stockholm, third semester in St Andrews, and the fourth semester at one of the universities in the collaboration undertaking a major project.
