The duration of the study is 7 semesters (3.5 academic years). During the first 4 semesters the basic technical knowledge is delivered (110 ECTS split into 4 almost equally loaded semesters) and the next 3 semesters are focused on the photonics engineering specialization (67 ECTS split into 3 almost equally loaded semesters and 15 ECTS – engineering diploma).

The profile of a graduate corresponds with the challenges of the 21st century. It has basic knowledge as well as general and specialistic knowledge, which provides a basis for designing, manufacturing, testing and operating opto-mechatronic systems and devices. The basic knowledge includes first off all mathematics, physics, mechanics and electronics – especially the branches useful while designing precision opto-mechatronic devices.
