The Abbe School of Photonics (ASP) is the educational pillar of the Abbe Center of Photonics (ACP). The School provides and coordinates the graduate studies in optics and photonics at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, promoting academic careers and providing job experience in the photonics industry. ASP's interdisciplinary education programs are embedded in the framework of a cross-fertilizing research environment inherent to the Abbe Center of Photonics. Offered graduate degrees are the distinguished Master's degree programs (M.Sc. Photonics and M.Sc. Physics with focus on photonics) and a broad-based doctoral program in optics and photonics.
