Study programs of the SciTec department

Bachelor's degree programs

The Bachelor is the first academic degree and professional qualification. We award the respective academic degree after successful completion of studies: Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) or Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). If you have any questions or problems, you can get advice and help from the respective head of the study programme.

Studying Laser- and Optotechnologies at University of Applied Sciences Jena

Would you like to learn more about optics, optoelectronics, optical technologies and laser technology and discover how a wide variety of fields (e.g. environmental, communication and medical technology) come into contact with optical applications?

Studying Materials Engineering at University of Applied Sciences Jena

Do you have your smartphone at hand right now? Yes? Then try to imagine what remains of this smartphone if you first think away the display glass, then the plastic housing, the copper conductors, the silicon microprocessor and, step by step, all the other components made of materials. Nothing remains!

And so it is with all the products we need for our daily lives. Materials are everywhere. And even if they are often overlooked at first, 70% of all product innovations are due to material developments. This is just as true for communications technology as it is for medical and energy technology, mechanical engineering and mobility technologies.

Would you like to learn more about these materials and their technologies and use this knowledge later to produce, improve or optimally use materials? Then the practice-oriented bachelor's degree program in materials engineering offers you an excellent opportunity to study.

Microtechnology / Physics Engineering at Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule University of Applied Sciences Jena

Our technical world is developing at a rapid pace. Do you want to work systematically across disciplines to find new technical solutions and develop better and better products? The main component of your studies in microtechnology/physical engineering (B.Sc.) is the transfer of knowledge in the fields of physics and engineering. This qualifies you for a job with very good career prospects.

Here you will learn to combine skills from optometry with know-how from the fields of medicine and business administration. Accordingly, professionals with this knowledge are in demand in specialized optical stores, as well as in optometric practices/ institutes and clinical facilities.

Augenoptik studieren an der Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena

The bachelor's degree programme in optometry and ophthalmic optics provides you with biomedical and technical knowledge that will enable you to work in various fields in industry, business and research. At the traditional optics location in Jena, you will learn how to answer all questions on the subject of "vision".

Studying Precision Engineering at University of Applied Sciences Jena

You like technology, want to develop and build - not just calculate. Cars are okay for you, but you find robots much cooler. You'd rather explore the next planet than the next highway? Would you rather have a super microscope than a super car? Then you're interested in high tech engineering. So are we!

In the bachelor's degree program "Precision Engineering" we prepare you for a career in modern engineering. You'll discover a world of high-precision machines and computer simulations with laser manufacturing and 3D printing. Add a little optics, computer science and electronics and you'll be building the next Mars robot!

Master's programs

The Master's degree is an academic degree and a professionally qualifying degree. It can serve to scientifically deepen previous studies or open up new areas of knowledge. It also entitles the holder to a doctorate. We award the respective academic degree after successful completion of studies: Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.). If you have any questions or problems, you can get advice and help from the respective head of the study programme.

Berufsbegleitender Masterstudiengang Klinische Optometrie

Here you will learn skills at the interface between people, medicine and technology. The master's program in Jena offers a part-time continuing education that optimally prepares you for employment in this complex field.

Laser- and Optotechnologiesa at Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule University of Applied Sciences Jena

After your first academic degree in a technical or scientific field, would you like to gain further practical qualifications in the field of optical technologies? The Master's program in Laser and Optotechnologies offers the ideal prerequisites for this.

You already have a first academic degree in materials engineering, materials science or a comparable scientific-technical course of study and would like to gain further qualifications in the field of materials as well as materials technologies? Then the practice-oriented master's program in Materials Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Jena offers exactly the right prerequisites.

Studying Optometry / Ophthalmo-Technology / Vision Science at University of Applied Sciences Jena

You already have a first academic degree in optometry/optometry or a related discipline and would like to deepen your knowledge in the field of clinical optometry and ophthalmotechnology? Then secure your place in the Master's program in Optometry/Ophthalmotechnology/Vision Science!

Scientific Instrumentation at Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule University of Applied Sciences Jena

The English-language master's program offers you the opportunity for further qualification in scientific instrument engineering, following a first academic degree in the natural sciences or engineering.

Application Deadline:
01th December to 30th April (Applicants with BA pursued outside of Germany)
15th May to 15th September (Applicant with BA pursued in Germany)

Further education

The SciTec department offers professional practitioners an opportunity to further their education in special fields on a part-time basis and in a practical manner in theory and practice at university level.

Currently, 7 certificate courses in the field of "Ophthalmic Optics/ Optometry/ Vision Science" are offered in cooperation with the Jena Academy of Lifelong Learning e.V. (JenALL e.V.) are offered.

The modular further education "Optics" (also in cooperation with JenALL e.V.) comprises 9 modules.
