Smart Factory@Industry: Hands-On Industry Training

Take the chance and combine an international Master of Science in Optics and Photonics at one of the best technical universities worldwide with training projects by selected key players in the German industry.

Industry 4.0

The concept of Industry 4.0 defines a new way of organizing factories, also called smart factories. They aim to better serve customers through greater flexibility of production and resource optimization, integrating the internet of things and digitalization into the global production processes.

About the Program

Optics and Photonics are key enabling technologies in the scope of Smart Factories, which means that students need know-how for the integration and extension of these digitalized factories. In cooperation with industry partners the Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics as the first graduate school of the KIT offers the additional industry training Smart Factory@Industry. This dual training program aims to enhance the interdisciplinary profile of our students. Lastly, with this program the students are able to build up networks with potential employers.
