Courses

The Applied Optics Group runs a series of Short Courses.

Our program of short courses includes:

  Short Course: "Introduction to Optical Design"

  Short Course: "Practical Optics" (deferred - please contact Emer McHugh (emer.mchugh@nuigalway.ie) for more details.

AMTC (Advances in Medical Technology through Convergence) is a strategic training collaboration involving the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute, DCU, the Applied Optics group, NUIG and the Regulated Software Research Group, LERO, DKIT. AMTC is part of the LifeSciences Skillnet training programme for industry. AMTC courses will take place in September 2010 and more information is avaiable at these links: ATMC 1-4 course summary, AMTC 2 (Practical Optics), AMTC 4 (Optics and Optical Systems).

These learning events are designed to provide an understanding of the basic principles of optics and optical systems to engineers and managers in industry and support agencies who may not have a background in optics. They are also designed for those in companies who have to interact with suppliers of components or sub-systems that contain some optical components.

No prior knowledge of optics is required but it is recommended that attendees have a basic training in science or engineering.

The Applied Optics Group also offers custom courses for individual companies, or groups of companies, at the NUI Galway campus, or at the client company's facility.
