Students who prefer our department have the chance to take part in projects carried out at GAZI PHOTONICS. In this way, we aim to train our students as "Photonics Professionals" who have gained the qualification of individuals are experts in photonic technologies at the end of their undergraduate education.

In addition, our curriculum has been created taking into account the needs of the industry and it is aimed to train in direct interaction with the industry during education of our students.
