Graduate Programs

International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS)

Our Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) hosts two graduate programs within the framework of International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS): the IMPRS Physics of Light (PL) and the IMPRS Physics and Medicine (PM).

Both programs are based on a collaboration with the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).

To learn more about our IMPRS programs, be welcome to browse through our sub-pages.

In case of questions, feel free to contact the IMPRS Office via imprs@mpl.mpg.de.
