Master of Science (Physics for Technology)
About This Course
The Master of Science in Physics for Technology (MPT) is a multi-disciplinary programme that offers knowledge in physics, photonics, electronics, materials science, quantum technology, big data and computing with a practical orientation to solve problems in high technology. The MPT aims to equip high-technology R&D professionals and fresh graduates with current knowledge and skills in scientific innovations and technology. The domain knowledge includes quantum physics and technology, solid-state physics, photonics, electronic/optical materials and fabrication, computational methods, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The MPT strives to equip its students with both the theoretical background necessary to approach complex problems and the practical know-how to solve these problems in quantum technology, semiconductor technology, photonic technology, technologies for advanced materials, and big data and AI technology.
