Study programs of the SciTec department

Would you like to learn more about optics, optoelectronics, optical technologies and laser technology and discover how a wide variety of fields (e.g. environmental, communication and medical technology) come into contact with optical applications?

Do you have your smartphone at hand right now? Yes? Then try to imagine what remains of this smartphone if you first think away the display glass, then the plastic housing, the copper conductors, the silicon microprocessor and, step by step, all the other components made of materials. Nothing remains!

And so it is with all the products we need for our daily lives. Materials are everywhere. And even if they are often overlooked at first, 70% of all product innovations are due to material developments. This is just as true for communications technology as it is for medical and energy technology, mechanical engineering and mobility technologies.

Would you like to learn more about these materials and their technologies and use this knowledge later to produce, improve or optimally use materials? Then the practice-oriented bachelor's degree program in materials engineering offers you an excellent opportunity to study.

Our technical world is developing at a rapid pace. Do you want to work systematically across disciplines to find new technical solutions and develop better and better products? The main component of your studies in microtechnology/physical engineering (B.Sc.) is the transfer of knowledge in the fields of physics and engineering. This qualifies you for a job with very good career prospects.

Here you will learn to combine skills from optometry with know-how from the fields of medicine and business administration. Accordingly, professionals with this knowledge are in demand in specialized optical stores, as well as in optometric practices/ institutes and clinical facilities.

You like technology, want to develop and build - not just calculate. Cars are okay for you, but you find robots much cooler. You'd rather explore the next planet than the next highway? Would you rather have a super microscope than a super car? Then you're interested in high tech engineering. So are we!

In the bachelor's degree program "Precision Engineering" we prepare you for a career in modern engineering. You'll discover a world of high-precision machines and computer simulations with laser manufacturing and 3D printing. Add a little optics, computer science and electronics and you'll be building the next Mars robot!

Here you will learn skills at the interface between people, medicine and technology. The master's program in Jena offers a part-time continuing education that optimally prepares you for employment in this complex field.

After your first academic degree in a technical or scientific field, would you like to gain further practical qualifications in the field of optical technologies? The Master's program in Laser and Optotechnologies offers the ideal prerequisites for this.

You already have a first academic degree in materials engineering, materials science or a comparable scientific-technical course of study and would like to gain further qualifications in the field of materials as well as materials technologies? Then the practice-oriented master's program in Materials Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Jena offers exactly the right prerequisites.

You already have a first academic degree in optometry/optometry or a related discipline and would like to deepen your knowledge in the field of clinical optometry and ophthalmotechnology? Then secure your place in the Master's program in Optometry/Ophthalmotechnology/Vision Science!

The English-language master's program offers you the opportunity for further qualification in scientific instrument engineering, following a first academic degree in the natural sciences or engineering.
