About Programme


Our department, named Gazi UBF-Fotonik, is the first department established in the Faculty of Applied Sciences with the decision of the Higher Education Council dated 20.05.2020.

Although our department was established on this date, our academic staff of the department started its education and research activities within the scope of photonic technologies, which is the only center of excellence in this field in Turkey,? Gazi University Photonics Application and Research Center-GAZİ PHOTONICS started in 2001 and still continues these studies.

 Our researchers carry out many projects that contribute to the technological product development of the industry within the scope of photonic technologies in our country. Our students working in these projects can easily find job opportunities in the relevant sectors.

Students who prefer our department have the chance to take part in the projects carried out at GAZİ FOTONİK. In this way, we aim to train our students as "Photonicians" who have gained the qualification of individuals who 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; It is aimed to train our students in direct interaction with the industry during their education. For this purpose, it will be ensured that some of our applied courses are given by researchers working in industrial R&D centers.
