MSc theses
Good MSc students are always welcome to embark on one of our exciting Masters Thesis topics and are encouraged to take courses in our group to prepare them for the thesis research work.
All master theses in our group are very close to the cutting-edge research in their respective fields and involve various experimental aspects where you are working with the most advanced devices and methods to solve current problems in the area of quantum photonics. Furthermore, you will learn about theoretical aspects of modelling quantum optical phenomena and of semiconductor physics. Altogether you will acquire an excellent basis for an industrial or academic career.
Foreign students beware that MSc students are not normally funded in Austria. Furthermore, please inform yourself about the necessary requirements and procedures for studying at the UIBK.
BSc theses
We offer topics for Bachelor theses. If you are interested on one of our topics, please contact us, ideally at the end of the winter term.
externals: students from outside UIBK
We only consider EU-nationals or applicants with a valid work visa for Austria for any internship positions.
