EUROPHOTONICS graduates work in academic or applied research careers or in photonics related industry. Graduates are able to understand and control matter and optical phenomena at the nanometric scale, provide new imaging and monitoring tools for complex biological processes from cells and tissues to clinical applications, and to develop new and original tools for future optical devices. 

Applicants with a suitable Bachelor's degree with mathematics and physics from all over the world are eligible to apply.The application process is coordinated by Aix-Marseille Université.
