Master in Physics

M2 Photonics

This Master’s degree (M2 PHOTONICS) proposes a specialization in Photonics, integrating the basic principles of physics and technologies necessary to comprehend this field.

From Telecommunications to Medical Imagery and Renewable Energies, Photonics plays a major role in the design of components and systems for today and tomorrow. Photonics has been chosen by the European Commission as a key technology in the 21st Century.

Four graduate engineering schools , ENIB (École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Brest),  ENSSAT Rennes, INSA  Rennes and Télécom Bretagne – and two universities, the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO) and the Université de Rennes I – have joined up to offer advanced training in Optics via this Master in Photonics, simultaneously at Brest, Lannion and Rennes: Optical Telecommunications, Optical Nanotechnology, Photonics for Life and the Environment.

This Master benefits from the expertise of the CNRS laboratories of the jointly approved establishments.

This Master has over 10 years experience in the teaching of Photonics and the use of the latest digital technologies for teaching (training supported by the Digital Campus Plan and the UEB).

Entrance requirements

This training is open to students who have acquired:

• 1st year Master in Physics, Applied Physics, Science of Materials or Physical Sciences
• 2nd year in Magistere Physics of Materials
• 4th year student engineer INSA
• An equivalent diploma obtained in France or abroad

Level required : sound knowledge of Physics (Optical Physics, Electromagnetism, Signal Processing, Solid-State Physics) and 60 ECTS credits at M1. M1 can be waivered after a 4th year at graduate engineering school (INSA, ENNSAT, ENIB, Télécom Bretagne) or validation of previous experience (VKE – Validation of Knowledge through Experience etc).
