The Graduate Diploma in Optoelectronics and Photonics provides students with the opportunity to study the basic sciences and technologies that underlie the field of optoelectronics. The names ‘optoelectronics’ and ‘photonics’ typically cover areas such as optical communications and various applications of lasers and optics in modern industrial and medical settings. The program offers theoretical and practical training in areas that form the foundation of these strongly growing and fast changing technologies. This program may be undertaken at the Kensington campus or by distance mode. The laboratory-based courses are only available at the Kensington campus.
