The Optical Engineering program at Nanjing University of Science and Technology is an undergraduate engineering major focused on the science and technology of light and optical systems. It combines foundational courses in mathematics, physics and optics with specialised study of optical design, photonics, laser technology, optical instruments, imaging systems and optical information processing. The curriculum emphasises both theoretical understanding and practical skills through laboratory experiments, simulation projects and hands-on design work, giving students the ability to analyse, design and optimise optical components and systems used in communications, sensing, medical diagnostics, manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. Graduates are prepared for careers in optical system design, research and development, engineering applications and technical innovation in sectors such as telecommunications, aerospace, instrumentation and healthcare, as well as further advanced study in optical science and engineering fields.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
