- Description/content
- The IMPRS Physics of Light (IMPRS-PL) at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) is an international graduate programme that educates and trains a new generation of scientists at MSc and PhD levels.
In collaboration with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin, we offer MSc stipends and PhD positions. The language of instruction and interaction of our structured graduate programme is English. Knowledge of the German language is not required, but we also offer German language classes at MPL and FAU.
The aim of IMPRS-PL is to provide excellent research conditions and a structured curriculum within an international and interdisciplinary environment.
