Scientific Instrumentation an der Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena

The Scientific Instrumentation programme offered at the Jena University of Applied Sciences is designed to prepare the student for employment in research and development focusing on technical and scientific instruments or processes.The aim is to enable students to design and develop scientific instruments on their own initiative and to manage and coordinate research and development projects.
 

For more than a century now, Jena has been known as a technological centre specialising in the development and production of scientific instruments. Both the industry and the research institutes based in this city are involved in applied physics, physics technology, optics, precision engineering, measurement technology, sensor engineering, micro- and nanotechnology and medical engineering.
 

The development of high-tech processes and cutting-edge measurement techniques and instruments are crucial to industrial competitiveness.
 

The master course Scientific Instrumentation is taught in English language.
 

The Scientific Instrumentation programme is a postgraduate course of study. It presupposes the completion of the precision engineering or physics engineering Bachelor’s degree programmes or other courses of study in physics or engineering sciences.

Scientific Instrumentation an der Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena: Studiumsverlauf

The programme has been designed to equip students with both the technical and interdisciplinary qualifications necessary for the successful pursuit of their future careers. Apart from contents of the course in physics and engineering science, this also includes the socalled key qualifications. In the first semester in addition to the compulsory modules a selection of postgradual basis modules in the fields of applied physics or precision engineering is offered to bring students from different disciplines up to the same level. In the second semester, students select four fields of specialization from a choice of eight (see above).
 

The language of instruction is English. In a research internship in semester three the students are introduced into scientific research work. Students are supposed to write their Master’s thesis in the fourth semester. The thesis will focus on specific aspects of fundamental research or development in the field of technology and is written at our University of Applied Sciences, at a foreign partner university, at a research institute or in the R&D department of an industrial firm. A thesis is written under the joint scientific supervision of the relevant institution and the University of Applied Sciences Jena. The Master’s programme is presented in modular form. Under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), students receive a fixed number of credits for every successfully completed teaching module. This system facilitates the recognition of students’ coursework, should they change universities in their home country or abroad.
