Get a good impression of what your study programme will look like.
You will study at four universities of applied sciences, each offering its own strengths in quantum technology. The programme combines knowledge of quantum software, photonics and electronics, and focuses on skills you can use in practice.
Unlike theoretical quantum programmes, this master’s focuses on practical applications.
Through a mix of theory, lab sessions and projects, you’ll explore your chosen field in greater depth.
This programme offers direct pathways to industry through active partnerships.
Expect a study load of 40 hours per week, including 12 contact hours. The rest involves self-study through projects, research, and assignments. You will study across four universities of applied sciences, choosing one as your home institution. A lecturer from your home location will guide your projects. Most weeks involve one or two visits to partner universities, typically requiring 1.5 to 2.5 hours of travel each way.
The introduction will take place during the first quarter of the first year of the master. You will get to know the other students, visit the different locations and follow courses depending on your prior knowledge and educational background.
This part will be the same for all students and will be taught in the second and third quarter of the first year. There will be courses on quantum hardware about different kinds of qubits and courses on quantum software. Everything you learn here will form a strong foundation for your specialisation.
You will choose one of the three specialisations: Quantum Software, Quantum Electronics or Quantum Photonics . With a combination of theory, lab sessions and projects, you will dive deeper into your chosen quantum technology.
You will finalize this programme with your graduation project on the design and realisation of a quantum (related) device within an industrial setting.
