What universities offer strong programs in optics and holography?

[ellene]

Hello,

I am junior in high school so I have to decide where I am going to apply for university..
Let's say holography in one of my hobbies (although you could call it almost an obsession) so I thought of looking for a university program based on that..
I like physics in general too but I would definitely prefer to study optics so I could get specialized in holography..

I've been thinking at Canada (Rochester University)..and recently heard Russia has some good programs in physics...but any idea is welcomed
So..I would really appreciate some advices..

Thanks in advance!

Given your interest in holography and optics, there are a few universities that offer excellent programs in these areas. In the US, you can consider universities like the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley. All of these universities have excellent research and teaching facilities for optics and holography. In Europe, you can consider universities like the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and the University of Oxford, which all have strong research and teaching programs in optics and related topics. In Asia, you can consider universities like the University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University in China, and the National University of Singapore, which all have strong research and teaching programs in optics and related topics. Finally, if you are interested in exploring programs outside of North America, Europe, and Asia, you can consider universities in countries like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Brazil, which all have excellent higher education institutions with strong research and teaching programs in optics and related topics. I hope this information is helpful to you in making an informed decision about which university program to pursue. Best of luck!
