Overview
The Professional Bachelor's Degree Light and Color Control and Measurement trains advanced technicians and engineering assistants who specialize in light and color measurement.
The need for technical expertise in “light and color” is growing across all industrial sectors. The introduction of portable spectrometers to the market now makes it possible to characterize surfaces in a simple and non-destructive manner in a wide variety of settings, ranging from R&D laboratories to the inspection of finished products on production lines. Spectro-goniometry introduces new characterization methods, for example, for “effect paints” or banknotes. The industry must master the new light sources available on the market and their proper use.
The Professional Bachelor's Degree Light and Color Control and Measurement thus offers career opportunities for graduates with a three-year degree in colorimetry across a wide range of industrial sectors: automotive, printing, cosmetics, textiles, paints, plastics, packaging, food processing, computer graphics, display technology, and more.
