About Us

View of UNSW's modern campus located in the heart of Sydney, Australia.

Photonics and optoelectronics cover the technology of fibre optic communications, and the applications of lasers and optics in a broad range of fields, from medicine to manufacturing, from basic research to military technology.

The University of New South Wales, one of Australia's leading universities, is offering a range of postgraduate programs in photonics and optoelectronics by course-work.

These postgraduate programs can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. Many of the courses are also available via distance education.

The courses are taught by lecturers from the School of Physics and the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, providing a healthy balance between the basic sciences and the engineering technologies. In addition to the broad choice of theoretical courses, the programs also include courses in the relevant laboratory techniques and instrumentation in our well-equipped and modern laboratories.

These postgraduate programs are built on the cluster of excellent research groups working within the University of New South Wales specialising in photonics and optoelectronics.
