Quantum Technology
Programme Content
The world is becoming ever smaller and ever more complex! Are you interested in influencing materials in the nanocosmos, i.e. at the molecular or atomic level, in order to achieve new and improved properties? Then studying quantum technology is just right for you! Our degree programme is aimed at prospective students who are equally enthusiastic about the fundamentals of physics and the possible areas of application. This combination offers a high degree of flexibility for your future career. Through the integrated university and industrial internships in Germany and abroad, great emphasis is placed on the application aspects during the degree programme and the opportunity is given to establish contacts in industry and cutting-edge research at an early stage.
The Master of Science programme prepares students for scientific activities in the field of nanosciences and quantum technology and the Master of Science degree prepares students for a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.).
Learning Objectives
The aim of the programme is to provide students with in-depth knowledge of the physical and technical principles of quantum technology as well as a sound knowledge of the theoretical and experimental methods for gaining new insights, including the necessary ability to abstract, analytical thinking, a high level of problem-solving skills and the ability to structure complex interrelationships in order to be able to work successfully as a responsible scientist in interdisciplinary and international teams of (natural) scientists and/or engineers in research, industry and business.

The final section consists of the modules "Professional Specialisation in Quantum Technology" and "Scientific Methods and Project Management Quantum Technology" as well as the Master's thesis. The final year lasts one year and is usually completed in the 3rd and 4th semesters. The Master's thesis must be completed in 6 months. The modules "Professional Specialization" and "Scientific Methods and Project Management" are aligned with the Master's thesis in terms of content and should be successfully completed before the start of the Master's thesis.
