The Opto-electronic Information Science and Engineering program at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Engineering degree that blends optics, optoelectronics, electronics, and information science to educate students in both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of light-based technologies. The curriculum covers key areas such as optical physics, optoelectronic devices, optical communication, photoelectric detection, and information processing, preparing students to understand and innovate at the intersection of light and electrical information systems.

Students build a solid grounding in mathematics, physics, and core engineering principles, then progress to specialized topics including optical design, photonic systems, fiber-optic communication, laser technology, and flat-panel displays. The program places strong emphasis on hands-on laboratory training, project work, and development of practical skills alongside theoretical study, making graduates capable of engaging in research, system design, and development of optoelectronic technologies.

Graduates are well-prepared for careers in optoelectronic information industries, optical communication, photoelectric devices, sensing and imaging systems, and high-tech R&D, or for advanced study in fields related to optics, photonics, and electronic information engineering. The discipline is widely applied in modern sectors such as optical communications, laser applications, photonic integrations, and intelligent sensing technologies — all critical to innovation in digital information and advanced manufacturing.
