About this course

Electronic engineering with photonics is a specialism that adds the science and technology of light to a foundation in electronic engineering. Photonics is concerned with the generation, detection, and manipulation of light, and its applications span a remarkable range of technologies: from the optical fibres that carry internet data around the world at the speed of light, to laser-based precision tools in surgery and manufacturing, to LiDAR systems in autonomous vehicles, to the quantum photonic computing platforms that may define the next generation of information processing. Photonics is a field of rapid innovation, and photonics engineers are at the centre of some of the most consequential technological developments of our time. At the University of Southampton, this four-year full-time programme combines electronic engineering education with specialist content in photonics and opto
