M.Sc. Optical Technology and Image Processing

Optical Technology and Image Processing is a German-taught, three-semester Master of Science at Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da) about cameras, lasers, optics and intelligent algorithms. You gain sound, practice-oriented knowledge of photonics and machine vision, with uses from industrial machine vision to autonomous driving. In the first two semesters you deepen the subject areas in theory and practice, with a technical elective for specialisation; one day a week, special classes such as laser material processing labs take place in Friedberg. The third semester is for your master's thesis, written in industry, at a research institute or in a university research project. You can start in winter or summer, and a dual format is available. It suits graduates of a relevant bachelor's, for example in mechatronics, electrical or physical engineering, with solid maths, physics and programming.
