- Description/content
- Quantum Engineering provides cross-disciplinary training between knowledge-oriented natural sciences, especially physics, and application-oriented engineering, especially systems engineering. The Master's programme provides in-depth training in the complementary core areas of physics and engineering, targeted at the research, development and implementation of quantum technologies. In addition, students can set individual priorities for a theoretical, experimental or applied profile.
The students select courses from the core areas of quantum physics and systems engineering and expand them in the context of specific elective subjects, seminars and (project) lab work that can be selected from a wide range of topics. The general elective courses allow further deepening, practical implementation and the acquisition of interdisciplinary scientific competences in economics modules or language courses based on individual preferences and goals, for example. A laboratory project and an associated project seminar serve as an introduction to the Master's thesis, which is written in research groups.
Graduates of the "Quantum Engineering" Master's programme have a wide range of career opportunities. They can pursue a doctorate and work in research, or they can take up activities in high-tech development, in manufacturing or sales in the very latest quantum technologies, which are currently poised to leap from the world of research into broad application.
